Mad Ants Deal Canadiens 6-2 Loss
The Portland Mad Ants defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 6-2. First Baseman Travis Starkey deserved a large share of the credit. Starkey went 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 runs for the Mad Ants. With the victory, the Mad Ants upped their record to 78-54.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Neil Zander? The Portland second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Mad Ants on top, 3-0. For the game, Zander had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"No disrespect to the other team," said Portland manager Will Berman. "But it's nice to get an easy win."
