August 21, 2024 - Pioneer League (PL)
Billings Mustangs News Release

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.

Coverage starts at 6:15 p.m. with first pitch at 6:35 p.m, on ESPN910/105.5 FM or espnbillings.com. You can also watch every pitch on FloBaseball.TV.
