Heathens Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Halifax Heathens picked up a win at Estadio Azteca, downing the Phoenix Gladiators, 7-5, in 11 innings. On the mound for Halifax was left-hander Jack Ivory, who played a pivotal role in the win. Angel Morales was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Manny Brant. Halifax has now won 5 in a row.

Halifax got a game-changing hit from Eric Kukowski. The right fielder blasted a 3-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Ivory. "But we got it done."
