The Halifax Heathens and Indianapolis Eagles played an entertaining game for Eagles Stadium patrons.

The Halifax Heathens found a way to sneak past the Indianapolis Eagles, 5-4, in 11 innings. Halifax pitcher Adam D'Alberto, for one, had a standout performance. The American Conference South Division-leading Heathens have a record of 84-49.

Halifax used the timely hitting of Ryan Freeman to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Heathens on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Freeman told the Halifax Today. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
