Giants Rally to Nose Past Halifax
The Detroit Giants had to overcome a big game from Halifax shortstop Leo Orozco to leave Estadio Azteca with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-7. Orozco went 2-3 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times. Devin Wickliffe, now 4-6, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. The victory gives Detroit a record of 80-68.

Detroit won the game in part because of Edward Salgado. The shortstop ripped a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Giants ahead, 8-7. For the game, Salgado had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Halifax manager David Morris.
