Pierskalla Shines in 13-4 Phoenix Win
The Phoenix Gladiators powered past the Austin Desperados, 13-4, at Dell Diamond. Mike Pierskalla provided some of the pop. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. The winning pitcher was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Bob Rehm. He tossed 97 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits. Austin is in the throes of a losing streak which has reached 14 games.

Phoenix designated hitter Corey Cawley contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a sinker to left field for a 2-run single. It was his 31st hit of the season and put the Gladiators ahead, 3-0.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said , the Austin manager.
