Dominant Performance by Covington in Halifax Win
Branden Covington was superb against San Diego. The left-hander, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 2024, had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Heathens victory. The score was 4-0. Jeff Buck closed out the game, earning his 4th save. The win puts Halifax at 4-3.

Covington made it look effortless. He scattered 3 hits over 7 innings, while racking up 9 strikeouts. The Halifax left-hander encountered little resistance from the San Diego hitters. His season record is now 1-1.

"I felt good out of the gates," said Covington.
