Heathens Pull Out Late Win, 2-1
The Halifax Heathens had to overcome a fine effort from Austin pitcher Joe Townsend to win, 2-1, at Estadio Azteca. Townsend went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Chris Booth earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record is now 1-2. The Heathens, at 28-23, lead by one game in their division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Halifax second baseman Chance Smith, facing Chris Oren, had a run-scoring hit-by-pitch. It gave the Heathens the 2-1 win.

"Every loss stings," said Austin manager Adam Ponder. "This one is no exception."
