Heathens Top Royals, 4-3
The Halifax Heathens and Cincinnati Royals put on quite a show.

The Halifax Heathens faced a tough opponent in Cincinnati pitcher John Wright, but did just enough to pull out the victory at The Castle by a final score of 4-3 in 10 innings. Wright went 7.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. The first-place Heathens are now 83-51, the Royals 78-56.

Eric Kukowski came through with a big-time hit for Halifax. The right fielder smacked a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We'd like to put some distance between ourselves and the rest of the division," said Kukowski.
