Almost There: Halifax On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 4-3 Win
The Halifax Heathens got a strong game from starter Branden Covington, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.

The Heathens took the 4-3 win over the San Diego Fleet in Game 4 of the World Series in a 9th inning walk-off. The win capped off a fine outing for the left-handed Covington. Covington threw 5.2 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which gave the Heathens a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Nate Dubiel was the walk-off hero for Halifax. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Heathens pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Halifax manager David Morris.

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