Halifax picked up a win at San Francisco Grounds, bumping off the San Francisco Fire, 5-3. Pitcher Branden Covington was a major reason the Heathens emerged victorious. The win went to Ross Lefkowitz in relief, making him now 1-1. Andy Hannah took the loss for San Francisco. Jeff Buck nailed down his 5th save.

Eric Kukowski came through with a big-time hit for Halifax. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We did a lot of things right," said Kukowski.

The loss drops San Francisco to 5-7.
