Austin Upended by Halifax, 3-1
In a low-scoring affair between the Halifax Heathens and the Austin Desperados, pitcher Angel Morales was the difference between victory and defeat. The Halifax right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-1 Heathens win. Morales yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 4-5. Halifax now has a record of 88-72 with the win.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Chance Smith? The 27-year old second baseman Smith stroked a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put Halifax up, 3-1. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Smith. "And not try to do too much."
