Championship Series Game 1 Goes to Halifax, Thanks to Sumney
The Halifax Heathens started the Championship Series in style, downing the visiting Boston Whistlers at Estadio Azteca by a score of 7-4 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Heathens center fielder Nick Sumney went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times.

With two out in the bottom of the fourth, Leo Orozco barreled up a sinker from Jay Helm. The result was a 3-run home run, putting the Heathens in front, 7-3.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Boston manager Mike Plocher.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Estadio Azteca in Halifax.
