Lynx Win at Newport, 5-3
The Ottawa Lynx picked up a win at Chanticleers Ballpark, knocking off the Newport Unicorns, 5-3. Starting pitcher Esteban Montoya was a big reason why. Ottawa is now 76-35.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jim Naig? The Ottawa first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Lynx on top, 2-0. For the game, Naig had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We've got a great group of guys," Montoya said, "and we're having fun right now."
