Gladiators Stumble, Lose to Dragons
The Dallas Dragons had to overcome a big game from Phoenix designated hitter Zack Husley to leave Tennant Healthcare Ballpark with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-4. Husley went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Dallas reliever Nick Kirshner picked up the win, upping his record to 3-1. Carlos Abarca took the loss. The Gladiators, at 75-79, have lost 4 in a row.

Had Chris Beasley not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Beasley hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Dragons.

Dallas manager Edgar Puente commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
