Royals Lose to Heathens, 6-1
Halifax pitcher Adam D'Alberto had a large part in his team subduing the Cincinnati Royals, 6-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. D'Alberto yielded 1 run over 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 6-7. Jose Ojeda recorded his 5th save for Halifax.

Halifax used the timely hitting of Tony Vela to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Heathens ahead, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Halifax manager David Morris.

The Heathens raised their record to 82-51.
