In a game for the baseball purist, Roy Halladay (1-0) and Ervin Santana (2-2) squared off in a tense pitching duel. The Bloomington Bees finally emerged victorious over the Fleetwood Walkers by a score of 2 to 1, giving them the series win.
Bloomington started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of the first when they scored 2 runs on 1 hit. That early scoring was all that Halladay needed. The pitchers took over after the 1st inning as neither team was able to score again.
J.J. Putz earned the save, his 2nd of the series. Bloomington now moves on to face the winner of the National League's Glen Allen versus Ocala National series.
