Phoenix Pockets 5-0 Win Over Tampa Bay
Spirited fans greeted the Tampa Bay Captains for their clash with the Phoenix Gladiators.

The Phoenix Gladiators beat the Tampa Bay Captains, 5-0, at Ahoy Park. Starting pitcher Johnny Keener was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Keener, the winner, moves to 6-6. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 1 walk.

Phoenix used a well-timed hit by Zack Husley to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Johnny's done it for so many years, it doesn't surprise me when he goes out there and carves like he did," said Phoenix manager Brett Bartlett.

The Gladiators are now 57-61, while the Captains fall to 51-67.
