Orange centefielder Cooper Porter discusses home run and 1st save against Northern Durham

Orange centerfielder Cooper Porter’s home run on Tuesday night was the hardest he’s ever hit a ball. The second he touched it, he flipped his bat and strode around the bases in the 6th inning as Orange defeated Northern Durham 9-6 at Knights Field. In addition, Porter came in from centefield to record a four-out save, the first of his Orange career. The following night, Porter earned another save in another 9-6 win over Northern. Porter will look to continue the momentum going into Monday night’s game against East Chapel Hill, which may determine the Big 8 Championship.
