You gain 9 since you dealt 9 damage to it.

Here's the relevant rule if you're interested:

510.1c (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=510.1c): ... If exactly one creature is blocking it, it assigns all its combat damage to that creature. ... An amount of damage that's greater than a creature's lethal damage may be assigned to it.

(I only left in the relevant sections)

RESOLVED
