Southpaw Pitches Heathens to 2-1 Win
In a low-scoring game between the Halifax Heathens and the Tampa Bay Captains, pitcher Branden Covington was masterful on the mound. The Halifax left-hander spearheaded his team's 2-1 win. Jeff Buck closed the game out for Halifax, earning his 29th save. The Heathens have a winning streak of 7 games.

Covington worked his mojo for Halifax. The hard-throwing left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 6.2 innings of work.

"Tough loss," said Tampa Bay manager Jalen Armour. "This one will sting for a while."
