Heathens Rack Up 8-0 Win Versus New York
Halifax turned a fine outing from starter Joe Hart into a victory over the New York Nightmare at Estadio Azteca. The final score was 8-0. The winning pitcher was Hart, now 4-2. He tossed 5.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 7. Halifax improves to 49-26 with the win. They lead their division by 6½ games.

Chance Smith had a big run-scoring double for the Heathens in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Halifax leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Mario Ruiz and swatted a double to center. It was his 17th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Heathens ahead, 2-0.

"Joe did a good job keeping the game under control," said Halifax manager David Morris.
