Phoenix and Dallas duked it out and the Gladiators came out victorious.

The Phoenix Gladiators spoiled a good performance by Dallas left fielder Joe Robinson, bumping off Dallas, 6-5, at Tennant Healthcare Ballpark. Robinson went 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Dragons drop to 5-8, as their stumbling start to the 2026 season continues.

With Phoenix leading 5-2 in the top of the fifth, Pat Bounds hit a run-scoring single off Dallas pitcher Nick McGettigan. It put the Gladiators ahead 6-2.

"It feels good, just a great win all around," Bounds said after the game.
