Gladiators Capture Close Win
The Phoenix Gladiators had to weather a strong performance from Austin pitcher Jon Cordova before claiming a 3-2 win in 11 innings. Cordova went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. The win belonged to Manny Brant in relief. His record improves to 3-7. Bob Baucke took the loss for Austin. The misery continues for the Desperados, who have now dropped 12 in a row.

Phoenix used a clutch hit from Ton Ariëns to get the win. The third baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

Austin manager , after yet another defeat, said: "Guys need to step up. Pronto."
