Heathens Get Clonked by Gladiators, 8-2
The Halifax Heathens went down to defeat to Rob Alvarez and his Phoenix teammates. The final score was 8-2, in favor of the Gladiators. Alvarez got the win, improving to 4-2. He gave up 4 hits and walked 1 over 5.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. Phoenix is second in the American Conference South Division with a record of 32-33.

Corey Cawley had a big 2-run double for the Gladiators in the top of the first inning. With Phoenix leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a changeup from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Dan Fischer and swatted a double to center. It was his 7th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Gladiators ahead, 3-0.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Cawley told the Phoenix Daily. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
