Phoenix Downed, 8-5, by Whistlers
Phoenix got a terrific performance from pitcher Rob Alvarez, but it wasn't enough to beat the Boston Whistlers. Boston won the Gladiators Ballpark contest, 8-5. Alvarez threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Danny Offen, who went 7.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 5 runs on 9 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 4-2. The setback makes Phoenix 29-17.

Dave Aschenbrener came through with a big-time hit for Boston. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Aschenbrener.
