Mad Ants Secure 7-5 Win
The Portland Mad Ants defeated the Laredo Ghosts, 7-5, in part because of center fielder Pat Kirchner. Kirchner went 3-5 with a home run and 2 triples, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Mad Ants. The winning pitcher was Kevin Kovach. He's now 4-1. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits for the Mad Ants. Rich Wilkinson closed out the game, earning his 21st save.

Portland took a 7-4 lead on Kirchner's 9th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Bill Reno in the bottom of the eighth, propelled Portland to the win.

"Pat is still learning," said Mad Ants manager Efren Nieman. "The sky's the limit for him."

The Mad Ants are now 57-42, while the Ghosts fall to 50-49.
