The Halifax Heathens picked up a win at Scorpion Stadium, dropping the Syracuse Scorpions, 5-4. Jack Ivory, who is tied for 8th in the AC with a 3.63 ERA, was the difference-maker. Jeff Buck got the save, the 26th for him this season. The win gives Halifax a season record of 62-54.

Halifax used the hitting of Josh Fitzgerald to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Heathens on top, 5-3. For the game, Fitzgerald had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Fitzgerald.
