Kirchner, Mad Ants March to 11-4 Victory
In the 11-4 Portland win over El Paso, the impact of Pat Kirchner was substantial. Kirchner went 2-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 6. The third-place Mad Ants have won 4 consecutive games.

With Portland trailing 1-0 in the top of the third, Kirchner hit a changeup from Luis Najera for a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Mad Ants ahead, 3-1.

"It's always great to put the barrel on the ball and contribute," said Kirchner.
