The Phoenix Gladiators downed the Boston Whistlers, 7-5. The hitting star was first baseman Clemente Julio. Julio went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Gladiators. Manny Brant notched his 30th save in 32 chances. Phoenix is now 71-52.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Julio said after the game.
