The Halifax Heathens defeated the Syracuse Scorpions by the score of 11-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Josh Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald went 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Heathens on the day. The Heathens have an impressive 29-17 record.

In the top of the fifth, Halifax left fielder Todd Stevens had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Stevens stroked a run-scoring single to left-center. It made the score 4-2, Halifax. For the game, he went 1 for 5.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Fitzgerald told the Halifax Today.
