Just two days after being no hit, East Boston gets a no hitter of their own from Raul Martinez.  Martinez walked one and struck out twelve, as East Boston gets the 3-0 victory over the Savin Hill Dodgers.

This is Martinez’s rookie season in the Yakwey League.  The no hitter comes on Martinez’ fifth start of the seasons. Martinz is now 3-1 only allowing 6 hits and 2 earned runs over 19 innings for a minuscule 0.737 ERA.

Congrats Raul.
