Scorpions Sunk by Heathens
In a low-scoring contest between the Halifax Heathens and the Syracuse Scorpions, 26-year old right-handed pitcher Efrain Gutierrez proved to be the difference. The Halifax right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Heathens win. Gutierrez yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 4. His record improves to 3-1. Halifax has now won 3 straight, while the Scorpions have lost 3 in a row.

Gustavo Orozco, who finished 4th in the AC in runs with 92 in 2021, had a direct impact on the outcome. Orozco contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Halifax up, 3-1.

"Efrain was dictating to their hitters," said Halifax manager David Morris.
