Halifax scored three runs on five hits in the second inning, five more on six hits in the third, and one run on three hits in the fourth. After a scoreless fifth, Halifax rolled on to the sub-district title after a three-run, four-hit sixth. Tylik Powell did a terrific job on the mound for Halifax.
