With their spot in the World Series already secured, the Boston Splinters didn’t have anything to prove. Roy Halladay used the time to prep for the post-season, shutting out the New York Swats while allowing just 3 hits. It was Halladay’s 2nd shutout of the season. Pedro MartÃnez took a no-hitter into the 7th before Mule Suttles hit a solo home run with one out. Back-to-back singles and a sacrifice fly made it 2-0. Suttles drove in Ichiro Suzuki in the 8th with a 2-out single to give Boston a 3-0 lead. MartÃnez allowed just 5 hits himself in the pitcher’s duel. Boston will need to win 3 of their last 4 games to tie the single-season win record, set by the St. Louis Wizards last year when they went 36-18.
