Smith Stars in 10-8 Heathens Win
The Halifax Heathens defeated the Charleston Sea Dogs, 10-8, at Ballpark of Charleston. Chance Smith, who led the AC in triples with 8 last year, was a standout performer for Halifax. His 4 hits included 3 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 2 he knocked in. Halifax reliever Steve McManus picked up the win, upping his record to 2-2. Shane Kidd was saddled with the loss. Jeff Buck, credited with the save, is now 35 for 37 in save opportunities.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Smith delivered big-time for Halifax, stroking a dramatic 2-run single off Antonio Sanchez. The game-changing hit put the Heathens on top, 10-8.

Smith told the Halifax Herald: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."

At 68-43, the Heathens claim first place in the American Conference South Division.
