The Halifax Heathens withstood a good performance by Fountain Hills second baseman Joe Zerger to knock off Fountain Hills, 5-4, in 11 innings. Zerger was 2-4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win went to Steve McManus in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Wade McGonigle took the loss. The second-place Heathens have won 4 straight games.

The Heathens got a clutch hit from catcher Paul Gaither. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Heathens.

"This place was jumping at the end," Gaither said.
