Slumping Gladiators Lose 7th Straight
The Halifax Heathens weathered an outstanding game by Phoenix designated hitter Cory Sperber to topple the Gladiators, 6-5. Sperber went 3-4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs. Halifax reliever Jeff Buck was the winner. His record is now 4-2. The losing pitcher was Oscar Malave. The Gladiators, now 69-73, have lost 7 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Halifax first baseman Josh Fitzgerald, facing Oscar Malave, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Heathens the 6-5 win.

"It's great to see the crowd jacked up," Fitzgerald said.
