Smith Helps Halifax Bombard Chicago
The Halifax Heathens pinned a convincing loss on the Chicago Gangsters, 15-3, at The Hideout. Chance Smith was a main factor in the win. He was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Halifax. Halifax is now 71-47, 4 games up in the American Conference South Division.

Halifax used the bat of Austin Compton to get the win. The third baseman spanked a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Heathens ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it altered the outcome.

"Winning is contagious," said Smith. "We're looking forward to the next game."
