Spencer Sweet in 3-0 Mustangs Win
Shane Spencer tosses seven scoreless innings in a shutout win over the Great Falls Voyagers 3-0.
It's the second time this season the Mustangs shut out their opponent. The first came on a complete game shutout by Pat Maybach against Rocky Mountain June 5.
The Mustangs are only three games out of playoff positioning and only five games back from the first-place Boise Hawks.
Spencer retired nine of the first 10 men he faced, and then retired 11 in a row from the fourth into the seventh inning.
Meanwhile, Abe Valdez collected a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the second to give the Mustangs a 1-0 advantage.
It's the 14th two-out RBI for Valdez this season.
The Mustangs struck with two outs again in the bottom of the third.
After a full count walk by Connor Denning, Dylan Leach smacked the first pitch into the right-field parking lot 417 feet away.
It's the fifth home run in the month of August for Leach and the sixth overall this season for him.
Dawson Lane pitched a perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts.
Jonathan Haab collects his seventh save of the season despite giving up two hits with a balk, as he tosses the ninth without giving up a run with a strikeout.
Cam Tullar takes the mound Wednesday night. It's the last Warrior Wishes Wednesday of the season, which means there will be a silent auction of the Mustangs patriotic jerseys they've been wearing on Wednesday home games this season.
