David Ortiz ripped 3 homeruns as the Lewisville Fire Ants outscored the
Detroit Iron Gloves 10 to 1.

Ortiz was unconscious out there.  While Detroit pitching was serving softballs
up there for him to hit, the Detroit fans were serving up some hardball barbs
when he entered the batter's box.  But he just used it as fuel for the fire.
He hit a bases-empty home run in the 5th inning, cracked a solo homerun in
the 8th inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 25th of the
season) in the 9th inning.  Lewisville out-hit Detroit for the game, 16 hits
to 7.  

Russ Ortiz(8-8) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 and 2/3 innings and
allowing 1 run. Chad Cordero earned his 14th save.  John Lackey(7-5) was hit
with the loss.  

Lewisville now has a record of 41-60.  With the loss, the Detroit ballclub's
record is 55-46.
