The high-scoring effort was just what the Greenwave needed considering they were shut out in their previous matchup.
Kameron Shaw made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Spencer is 2-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 3-5 otherwise. Shaw was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March of 2024.
