Phantoms Sneak Past Gladiators, 4-3
The Pittsburgh Phantoms did just enough to secure a victory over the Phoenix Gladiators, 4-3, at Phantoms Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Steve Pikula. Pittsburgh reliever Bernie Hernandez got the win, raising his record to 4-1. Justin Watson was tagged with the loss. Ron Faulkner converted his 14th save in 18 tries.

Pittsburgh took a 4-3 lead on Leo Orozco's 35th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Phoenix pitcher Justin Watson in the bottom of the eighth.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Orozco told the Pittsburgh Chronicle.

Pittsburgh now has a record of 70-69 with the win.
