Game 5 was big. So was Brice Shine.

The Hamilton starter rose to the occasion at Vail Grounds, leading the Bulldogs to a crucial 4-0 victory over the Vail Tigercats. Shine threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball as the Bulldogs won on the road to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Hamilton starter Brice Shine pitched like a boss. The 6-foot-4 left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 8 innings.

"Brice had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Hamilton manager Emmanuel Montano.

The next game is set to be played for Saturday, September 20th , 2025 at Mariachis Ballpark in Hamilton.
