Heathens Pull Out Late-Game Win, 6-5
The Halifax Heathens knocked off the Chicago Gangsters, 6-5, in American Conference action at Estadio Azteca. Halifax pitcher and Yonkers, New York, native Branden Covington had an outstanding performance. The winner in relief was Ross Lefkowitz. He is now 3-1. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Halifax is 18-24 and Chicago, with the loss, 15-27.

Margate, Florida-born Eric Kukowski came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the eighth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Heathens trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single to left to put Halifax on top.

"We took home the win," said Covington. "What's not to like?"
