Heathens Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Whistlers
The Halifax Heathens topped the Boston Whistlers, 5-4, in American Conference action at Estadio Azteca. The standout performance belonged to Halifax pitcher and Caracas, Venezuela, native Efrain Gutierrez. Halifax reliever Ross Lefkowitz got the win, raising his record to 5-6. Josh Cowels was tagged with the loss. The Heathens now have a record of 72-47 with the win over Boston.

Leo Orozco was the walk-off hero for Halifax. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Heathens shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Efrain giving us the start that he did was huge," said Halifax manager David Morris.
