Portland Edges Nashville, 6-5
The Portland Mad Ants handed the Nashville Lasers a loss at Lasers Ballpark. The final score was 6-5. Felipe Hinojos was one of the major contributors for Portland. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Getting the save was Kevin Kovach, his 24th. The Mad Ants now have a record of 57-58 with the win over Nashville.

Had Hinojos not come through in the top of the ninth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Hinojos hit a 2-run home run. The Mad Ants took the lead, 6-4, and never looked back.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Mad Ants," said Hinojos.
