Halifax Beats Detroit, 11-6
No one was more impactful than Chance Smith in the 11-6 Halifax win over Detroit. Smith, who led the AC in triples with 8 in 2023, was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Halifax now sits at 33-34, while Detroit falls to 21-46.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Estadio Azteca seemed to enjoy watching the American Conference action.

"Every time I go up there, I try and hit a ball hard," said Smith.
