Greathouse leads Shaw to win

Wow.

Shaw's Cam Greathouse was impressive this afternooon. He struck out 13 and didn't walk a hitter, leading Shaw to a 1-0 victory against Harris County.

Greathouse was dominant from the opening inning until he recorded the game’s final out. The senior left-hander struck out two in the first and the side in the second. He struck out at least one batter in every inning.

Maybe even more impressive that double-digit strikeout total was ability to throw strikes. Greathouse, who has struggled with his command during his career, threw 76 of his 119 pitches for a strike.

Harris County pitcher Tyler Dent didn't deserve to lose.

Dent scattered three hits and recorded 14 ground-ball outs as he needed just 69 pitches in six innings.

The only run Dent allowed was in the third inning when the Raiders (4-2, 2-1) had back-to-back two-out hits. Howie Shackelford had an infield single and scored on Cain Fuller’s hard-hit double that rolled to the fence.
