Sabathia reaches 15th all-time in wins

An efficient outing by C.C. Sabathia Saturday night moved the big left-hander up the DMBL record books. Sabathia shut down the Hoboken Cutters for seven innings, scattering five hits and one run against the franchise that initially drafted him, in Rowdy's 5-3 road win.

Sabathia improved to 3-0 this season for the Roddy Pipers, earning his 109th career win, to match David Cone and A.J. Burnett for 15th all-time in DMBL victories. It was his 274th career start, which matched Andy Benes for 20th all-time, and broke a tie with Bartolo Colon. Originally an ineligible 14th-round pick in the 2001 draft, Sabathia also moved into the top 20 in all-time innings pitched, also passing Colon, and now with 1,675 2/3 innings.

Colon returned to the DMBL this season after a five-year absence, having last pitched for Hillsborough in 2006. He was a supplemental fifth-round pick by Blue Ridge in this year's draft, but so far has spent the season on the Bombers' reserve list.

Halladay passes Appier, Colon

Roy Halladay went 7 innings in nabbing the win in Carolina's 3-2 victory over New Jersey on Saturday. The Mudcats' ace passed Kevin Appier to move into 12th all-time in innings pitched with 1,848 2/3.

It was also Halladay's 274th career start, passing Bartolo Colon and moving into a tie with Andy Benes for 15th all-time in games started.
