Heathens Hold Off Desperados, 3-2
In a tight contest between the Halifax Heathens and the Austin Desperados, Branden Covington was the determining factor. The Halifax left-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. Jeff Buck finished the game for Halifax and earned his 33rd save. Halifax has run its win streak to 5 in a row.

Halifax left fielder Gustavo Orozco made an impact. He drilled a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. In the contest, Orozco was 1 for 3.

"Branden is still learning," said Heathens manager David Morris. "The sky's the limit for him."
