Phoenix Upended, 7-6, by Halifax
Halifax shortstop Leo Orozco had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Phoenix Gladiators, 7-6. Angel Morales snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 4.1 innings. He's now 3-4 on the season. Picking up his 32nd save was six-time All-Star Jeff Buck.

Orozco had an important at-bat with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, when he hit a 2-run single. The Heathens went on to win.

"It feels good to get this one," Orozco told the Halifax Herald.

Halifax is now 78-64, Phoenix 72-70.
