Shultz Helps Phoenix Bombard Fountain Hills
The Fountain Hills 23ers inaugurated the 2025 campaign with a disappointing 14-4 loss to the Phoenix Gladiators at Fountain Park. Phoenix left fielder Brian Shultz had a big impact on the outcome. He was 4-4 with a triple, 3 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5.

With Phoenix trailing 1-0 in the top of the second, Shultz hit a sinker from Taylor Motyl for a 2-run triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and put the Gladiators ahead, 2-1.

"I'm proud of the way our guys played today to come out with this win," Shultz told the Phoenix Daily.
