May 2, 2006: Bush-whacked!

Fleetwood continued its winning ways, led by pitcher Dave Bush. Although Boston's lineup will never be confused with Murderers' Row, Bush spun a four-hit shutout for his first complete game on the season.

Also making news in this game were Fleetwood's catchers. Javier Valentin started the game, going 2 for 3 with a pair of home runs. Ryan Doumit pinch hit for Valentin in the 7th inning, and smashed a homer of his own.

Tomorrow's matchup: Boston (Josh Fogg) at Fleetwood (Mark Buehrle).
