Gladiators Rally to Eke Out Win
The Phoenix Gladiators besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Daytona Beach shortstop Brian Bopp by beating the Sea Turtles, 6-5, at Gladiators Ballpark. Bopp went 3-7 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Phoenix goes to 65-50, Daytona Beach to 41-74.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the 15th when Zack Husley hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Timothee Laziosi to win the game for Phoenix. The home crowd went wild.

"The crowd was raucous," said Husley.
