Flyers Win Thriller, 8-5
Newark first baseman Omar Ortiz was a significant contributor in his team's 8-5 triumph over the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks. He went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Flyers. Dustin Miller got credit for the win, improving to 3-0. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. The Flyers move to 62-57 with the win, while the Jet Hawks drop to 66-53.

Ortiz delivered in the clutch for Newark. In the bottom of the ninth, he took a 2-2 slider from Grand Rapids pitcher James Straughn and parked it over the fence. The 3-run home run won it for Newark.

"This place went bonkers at the end," Ortiz said.
