Canadiens Score Late to Nip Mad Ants, 8-7
Despite a fine performance by first baseman Alex Aime, the Portland Mad Ants lost to the Montreal Canadiens, 8-7. Aime was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Dana Walker picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 6-4. Matt McCracken was tagged with the loss. The Canadiens go to 42-77 with the win.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder John Love came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Portland pitcher Matt McCracken, he hit a 3-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 8-7.

Love told a Montreal Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
