Stars 7-3 Winners Versus Halifax
Hollywood picked up a win at Hollywood Grounds, bumping off the Halifax Heathens, 7-3. Pitcher Matthew Rowlands was a major reason the Stars emerged victorious. Rowlands picked up the win for Hollywood, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 1-2. Picking up his 1st save was 26-year old left-handed pitcher Jason Hollenbeck.

Marco Madrigal went 2-4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Hollywood. The 26-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring single off Jack Ivory. It was his 11th hit of the season.

"Matthew set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Hollywood manager Alex Aguilera.

The Heathens drop to 6-6 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2026 season.
