Halifax Sent Home with 4-1 Loss
Fountain Hills turned a fine outing from starter Frank Sarabia into a victory over the Halifax Heathens at Fountain Park. The final score was 4-1. The loss makes Halifax 93-57.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases empty and no one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. That's when left fielder Joe Tibbs hit a triple. The 23ers went on to win.

Fountain Hills manager Efren Nieman said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
