Mad Ants 14-0 Winners Versus Laredo
The Portland Mad Ants downed the Laredo Ghosts, 14-0, at Ghosts Ballpark. Stellar pitching by Eric Zane had a lot to do with it. The right-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. The Mad Ants improved their record to 15-17 with the win over Laredo.

Portland used the hitting of Neil Zander to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Mad Ants on top, 14-0. For the game, Zander had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Laredo manager Josh Miller summed up his team's performance in one word: "Pathetic."
