The Halifax Heathens earned a win at Estadio Azteca, stopping the Phoenix Gladiators, 5-2. Starting pitcher Jose Contreras played a big role in his team's success. Jeff Buck collected save number 18. The first-place Heathens have a record of 40-22.

Julio Silva went 2 for 3 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI for Halifax. The 26-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Bob Rehm. It was his 8th RBI of the season.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Contreras.
