Maryland baseball junior shortstop Matt Shaw put on an offensive showcase this past weekend, earning Perfect Game USA and the Big Ten’s respective player of the week awards.
Shaw went 7-for-12 on the weekend — good for a .583 batting average — with nine RBIs and two home runs. One of Shaw’s long balls was a huge grand slam in the sixth inning of Friday’s game that gave Maryland its first lead of the game. Shaw’s slam traveled a whopping 507 feet, leaving his bat at 110 miles per hour.
Shaw’s play helped propel Maryland to a series win over the Iowa Hawkeyes.
