The Halifax Heathens dealt the Carolina Reapers a 6-3 loss at Estadio Azteca. Nick Sumney, who finished 2nd in the AC in batting average with .316 in 2024, was the star on offense. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Reapers fall to 10-20 and continue their lackluster start to the 2026 season.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth when Sumney hit a 3-run home run. It thrust the Heathens into the lead, 4-1.

"I had a good game," said Sumney. "Winning makes it even better."
