Graham Impressive in 1-0 Maine Triumph
In a low-scoring tilt between the Maine Pines and the Halifax Heathens, Matt Graham, who finished 3rd in the NC in wins with 15 last year, was the difference-maker. The Maine left-hander spearheaded the 1-0 win. The save went to Stephen Boland, number 9 for him. The defeat makes Halifax 86-52.

Graham, a native of Warren, Ohio, was dealing all game. He kept Halifax hitters off-balance, while giving the Pines 7 quality innings. Graham threw 93 pitches, allowing 3 hits and striking out 7.

"Feels good to get the job done," Graham said after the game.
