Gahr proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by seven) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-2 win over the Millikan Rams. The victory continues a trend for the Gladiators in their matchups with the Rams: they've now won three in a row.
Isabelle Gonzalez spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits.
