Giants Suffer 9-5 Home Defeat
The Phoenix Gladiators grabbed a win, 9-5, over the Detroit Giants at Ballpark of Detroit. Phoenix first baseman Jim Franz was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Matt Dickson came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in 4.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-1. The Gladiators now own a record of 37-38.

Phoenix used the timely hitting of Victor Gonzalez to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 5-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I like to lead by example," said Gonzalez. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
