Halifax turned a good effort from starter Jose Contreras into a win over the Dallas Dragons at Estadio Azteca. The Heathens won the game, 4-2. Contreras got the win, improving to 3-2. He gave up 7 hits and walked 2 over 5 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The Dragons fall to 10-15 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

Ernesto Ramirez, who finished 2nd in the NC in RBI with 105 in 2021, chipped in a solo home run for Halifax in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 RBI.

"The team always comes first," Ramirez told a reporter while responding to autograph requests. "Our fans like to come out to see a win, so I'm happy to do what I can to give them that."
