Invaders Beaten By Heathens, 6-3
The Halifax Heathens knocked off the Oakland Invaders, 6-3, in American Conference action at Estadio Azteca. Halifax pitcher and Indianapolis, Indiana, native Jose Contreras had an outstanding performance. Contreras yielded 3 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 9 hits, walked 0, and struck out 6. His record improves to 2-2. Jeff Buck notched his 5th save of the season.

Eric Kukowski had a big 2-run home run for the Heathens in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Halifax leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Idhma Kodandarami and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Heathens on top, 4-1.

"Jose had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Halifax manager David Morris.

With the loss, Oakland is 11-9.
