Halifax defeated Daytona Beach, 11-2, in large part due to 26-year old third baseman Seth Hardwick. Hardwick drove in 5 runs. The third baseman had 1 double and 1 home run for the Heathens. Jose Contreras, who is tied for 9th in the AC with a 3.27 ERA, was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 2 strikeouts. The Heathens raised their record to 67-37.

With Halifax leading 2-0 in the top of the sixth, Hardwick batted against Daytona Beach pitcher John Wicken. Hardwick hit a fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Heathens on top, 6-0.

"What a lackluster performance," lamented losing manager Danny Sanchez.
