Gladiators Score Late to Beat Fire, 2-1
The Phoenix Gladiators rode a solid performance from 36-year-old starting pitcher Oscar Malave to a win, beating the San Francisco Fire, 2-1, at San Francisco Grounds. Malave yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 1-0. At 3-1, the Gladiators have played well so far.

Phoenix won the game in part because of Brian Shultz. The left fielder ripped a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 2-1. For the game, Shultz had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

Afterward, Gladiators manager Brett Bartlett was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
