Gladiators Stumble, Lose to Invaders
Cody Fields was superb against Phoenix. The right-hander, who is tied for 5th in the NC in wins with 11, had a slider that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Invaders victory. The score was 8-2. The Invaders saw their win-loss record go to 67-45. At the same time, the Gladiators fell to 63-49.

Cesar Pereira helped out the Oakland cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the catcher was 2-4 with a double.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager Brett Bartlett.
