Canadiens Top Mad Ants, 8-3
The Montreal Canadiens faced a tenacious opponent in Portland pitcher Eric Zane, but still scratched out a win at Mad Ants Ballpark by a final score of 8-3 in 10 innings. Zane went 6.2 innings and allowed 3 runs. Montreal reliever Jerry Cirulli picked up the win, raising his record to 3-0. Kevin Kovach was tagged with the loss. The Montreal win streak is now 3 games.

Montreal used a clutch hit from John Love to get the win. The designated hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Canadiens ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a doozy.

"Our team found a way to get it done," said Love.
