Tailgators 8-3 Victors Over Portland
Chesapeake right-hander Chris Simon pitched his team to victory over the Portland Mad Ants at Mad Ants Ballpark. The final score was 8-3. Simon picked up the win for Chesapeake, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 3-4. At 25-28, the Tailgators find themselves in 5th place in the Stars Conference East Division.

The Mad Ants had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Tailgators going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old third baseman Kevin Cimini came to the plate. Cimini hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch curveball from Portland hurler Jaheim Jennings. It was Cimini's 5th home run of the year.

"I was just taking it batter by batter, just enjoying the moment," said Simon.
