Phoenix shortstop John Platzer played a vital role in his team's 6-4 conquest of Oakland. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for Phoenix. The loss makes Oakland 16-15.

Platzer had a big at-bat with the bases empty in the bottom of the first inning, when he hit a solo home run. The Gladiators went on to win.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said Platzer. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
