The Halifax Heathens downed the Cincinnati Royals, 15-3, at Estadio Azteca. Leo Orozco led the way, going 4-for-5 for Halifax. Branden Covington, the winner, improved to 9-3. He held Cincinnati to 1 run on 3 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts. The loss makes Cincinnati 84-55.

Orozco had a key at-bat for Halifax in the bottom of the first. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 22nd home run of the season and gave Halifax an early 2-0 lead.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Orozco.
