Phoenix Edges Gangsters, 6-5, Julio Clutch
Phoenix beat Chicago at The Hideout, escaping with a 6-5 win. The win in large part was due to first baseman Clemente Julio. He was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Phoenix reliever Dave Coe picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Keith Kramer absorbed the loss. The save went to Manny Brant, his 19th this season.

Julio had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 0-1 fastball from Keith Kramer, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Gladiators a 6-5 lead. It was the 6th home run of the year for Julio.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Julio.

Phoenix is second in the American Conference South Division with a record of 30-17.
