Gladiators Win Squeaker, 7-6, Over Whistlers
Getting offensive support from Victor Gonzalez, the Phoenix Gladiators topped the Boston Whistlers, 7-6. Gonzalez went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Gladiators. Derrick Espinosa claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. His record stands at 2-0. With the win, the Gladiators have a record of 24-23.

The result might have been different, had it not been for top prospect John Platzer. Platzer had a run-scoring double in the top of the 15th inning to put the Gladiators ahead, 7-6. For the game, Platzer had 1 double and 2 singles in 8 at-bats.

"It's a good day to be a fan after a win like that," Gonzalez told the Phoenix Bulletin.
