Herrera Lifts Heathens to 8-5 Triumph
Halifax took on Austin in front of a lively crowd.

Julio Herrera made an impact in the 8-5 Halifax win over Austin. Herrera, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2019 draft, went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. The win was credited to former first round draft pick Andy Swift in relief. His record improves to 6-2. Matt Parsons took the loss.

Mike Costello came through with a big-time hit for Halifax. The pinch hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 6-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Enjoyed this one," Costello told the Halifax Bulletin. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The first-place Heathens, at 60-40, now lead their division by 5 games.
