Mad Ants Squelch Chupacabras Offense in Shutout Win
Chris Simon pitched a gem to lead Portland to victory over the El Paso Chupacabras, 5-0. With the win, the Mad Ants improved to 42-35.

Portland used a clutch hit from Tom Hirsch to snatch the win. The catcher belted a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mad Ants ahead, 5-0. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Chris was throwing strikes, locating well," said Portland manager Will Berman.
