Gladiators Absorb 6-1 Home Loss
Phoenix had no answer for two-time All-Star Justin Jemison. The Maine Pines starter stymied Gladiators hitters, helping the Pines cruise to victory, 6-1. The first-place Pines have won 4 consecutive games.

Maine used the hitting of Jose Valverde to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Pines on top, 2-0. For the game, Valverde had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Valverde.
