Kevin Kovach pitched a gem to lead Portland to victory over the Laredo Ghosts, 7-0. Kovach picked up the win for Portland, going 5 innings. He gave up no runs on 1 hits. He now sports a record of 7-9. The Mad Ants now own a record of 61-64.

Portland used a well-timed hit by Rick Brown to capture the win. The left fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Mad Ants ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Kovach.
