Taunton Downed, 4-2, by Hitmen
Taunton got a terrific performance from pitcher John Schweitzer, but it wasn't enough to beat the Halifax Hitmen. Halifax won the Rail Cats Field contest, 4-2. Schweitzer threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Halifax has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Brad Bortz came through with a big-time hit for Halifax. The second baseman smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Said losing manager Manager E.B.: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
