Heathens Drop Whistlers, 3-2
The Halifax Heathens earned a close win over the Boston Whistlers, thanks in part to Andy Swift. The Halifax left-hander, the 18th overall pick in the 2018 draft, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Jeff Buck earned save number 18 this season. The American Conference South Division-leading Heathens are 72-47.

The Heathens got a big at-bat from right fielder Eric Kukowski. For the game, Kukowski was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fifth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 29th home run of the season gave Halifax a 3-2 lead.

Halifax manager David Morris called it "a pretty good win."
