Ariëns Helps Phoenix Cruise to 12-3 Win
The Phoenix Gladiators topped the Detroit Giants by a score of 12-3. Leading the way was third baseman Ton Ariëns. Ariëns went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Gladiators. Felipe Ayala, the winner, improved to 1-4. He held the Giants to 2 runs on 2 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 1. The win has Phoenix at 8-18.

Phoenix used a well-timed hit by Clemente Julio to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We came out aggressive," said Gladiators manager Brett Bartlett. "We came out swinging the bats."
