Scorpions Stumble, Lose to Gladiators
Paul McCarthy knocked in 3 runs to help Phoenix beat Syracuse, 8-4. The Ft. Worth, Texas native tallied 1 single and 1 home run. Phoenix's winning streak has reached 4 games.

Phoenix used the bat of John Anderson to get the win. The second baseman spanked a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it altered the outcome.

"I just try to bring what I bring to this team," said Anderson.
