Mad Ants Victorious at Hartford, 7-2
The Portland Mad Ants locked up a win at Ballpark of Tacoma, knocking off the Hartford Matadors, 7-2. On the mound for Portland was right-hander John Wright. He played a major role in the triumph. With the win, Portland pushed its record to 68-55.

Portland used a clutch at-bat from Pat Kirchner to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Mad Ants ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"John is tough to beat when he's hitting his spots," said Portland manager Efren Nieman.
