Halifax Offense Jammed Up by Gangsters
Estadio Azteca was the site of a tense game between the Halifax Heathens and Chicago Gangsters.

In a tight tilt between the Chicago Gangsters and the Halifax Heathens, Butch Saulters was the deciding factor. The Chicago right-hander spearheaded the 3-1 win. The Gangsters raised their record to 15-22.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Hector Alvarez to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Gangsters ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Chicago skipper Antonio Valdez.
