Mad Ants Get Past Montreal for 4-3 Win
The Portland Mad Ants picked up a win at Mad Ants Ballpark, knocking off the Montreal Royals, 4-3. On the mound for Portland was right-hander Javier Alba. He played a key role in the triumph. The second-place Mad Ants now sit at 79-55.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 25-year old first baseman Travis Starkey had a chance to be the hero. Montreal pitcher Joel Daniels wanted to foil that plan. But with two outs, Starkey drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Mad Ants had themselves a thrilling win.

Starkey said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
