Halladay Shuts Out New York, Boston Prepping for Series

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 Martínez 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. Martínez 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.
