Heathens Curb Dragons, 7-5
The Halifax Heathens topped the Dallas Dragons, 7-5, in American Conference action at Estadio Azteca. The game was highlighted by the performance of Halifax pitcher Andy Swift. Swift, now 9-3, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 8, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Picking up the save was Jeff Buck, his 21st.

Leo Orozco, who finished 2nd in the AC in extra base hits with 84 last year, took Dallas hurler Mike Deadrick deep in the bottom of the fifth. His 2-run home run put the Heathens on top, 2-0. In all, Orozco had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

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

The American Conference South Division-leading Heathens are 80-50.
