Gladiators Rally to Win
In a high-scoring contest between Phoenix and Halifax, third baseman Ton Ariëns was a difference-maker. Ariëns, who finished 5th in the AC in wins above replacement with 5.8 last year, distinguished himself in the 10-9 Phoenix win. He was 6-7 with a home run, a double, and 4 singles. He scored 3 runs. Manny Brant recorded the save for Phoenix, his 11th of the season. Phoenix goes to 68-73, Halifax to 87-54.

In the top of the 13th, Ariëns hit a tie-breaking solo home run to help the Gladiators capture the win.

"We got the victory," said Ariëns. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
