Halifax Defeated By Reapers, 6-4
Not everyone stuck through the 33-minute rain delay, but those who did went home happy.

The Carolina Reapers locked up a win at Reedy River Stadium, knocking off the Halifax Heathens, 6-4. On the mound for Carolina was right-hander Steve Cates. He played a major role in the triumph. The winner was Cates. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Adam D'Alberto.

Bill Havey went 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks for Carolina. With two out and the game tied in the bottom of the sixth inning, Havey, who is on pace for 201 hits this season, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Halifax hurler Chris Johnson, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run to give the Reapers a 4-3 lead.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Carolina manager Julio Rodriguez.

After today's action, Carolina sits at 17-16, while Halifax falls to 21-12.
