  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Syracuse Scorpions (8-28) 0 1 0 1 2 4 0 0 0 8 14 0
Phoenix Gladiators (23-13) 1 0 1 2 0 0 3 2 X 9 17 2
Gladiators Win Squeaker, 9-8, Over Scorpions
Powered by Paul McCarthy, the Phoenix Gladiators downed the Syracuse Scorpions, 9-8. McCarthy was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times for the Gladiators. Manny Brant nailed down the save. Phoenix is 23-13 and Syracuse, with the loss, 8-28.

Phoenix went up, 9-8, on Brian Shultz's 6th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Shultz hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Syracuse pitcher Mike Kelley feeling deflated.

"We take it day by day here," said McCarthy, "and today was a good one for us."
