Dragons Drop Gladiators, 5-3, with Late Score
The Dallas Dragons picked up a win at Gladiators Ballpark, downing the Phoenix Gladiators, 5-3. On the mound for Dallas was right-hander Jonathan Allen, who played a pivotal role in the win. Nick Kirshner, now 2-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. At 42-58, the Dragons claim last place in the American Conference South Division.

Adam Wright came through with a big-time hit for Dallas. The pinch hitter smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Wright attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
