Matadors Upend Mad Ants, 6-2
The Hartford Matadors got a good effort from starter Fernando Garcia in defeating the Portland Mad Ants at Mad Ants Ballpark. The final score was 6-2. Garcia picked up the win for Hartford, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 7-4. Hartford goes to 53-26. The win puts them 14 games up in their division.

The Mad Ants had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Matadors going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old shortstop Andrew Flynn came to the plate. Flynn hit a 2-run home run on a 2-1 sinker from Portland hurler Eric Zane. It was Flynn's 14th home run of the year.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Flynn.
