Gladiators Sink Pines, 5-2
Starting pitcher Derrick Espinosa took care of business, helping the Phoenix Gladiators stifle the Maine Pines, 5-2. Espinosa yielded no runs over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 8-7. The second-place Gladiators sport a record of 70-67.

Phoenix went in front, 3-0, on John Grabowski's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Grabowski hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Maine pitcher Nick Slover visibly perturbed.

Grabowski called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
