Gladiators Take Down Heathens, 2-1
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Phoenix Gladiators and Halifax Heathens.

The Halifax Heathens got a superb performance from pitcher Jeff Buck. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Phoenix. The Gladiators won the game, 2-1. Buck threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball. Jesus Howell picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 3-4. Miguel Soto suffered the loss. Oscar Malave, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 22nd save.

Phoenix used a clutch hit from Victor Gonzalez to snatch the win. The right fielder belted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Our pitching was the difference tonight," Gonzalez said.

Phoenix now sits at 51-56, while Halifax falls to 68-39.
