CAMDEN – The Green Wave varsity boys baseball team defeated the home-standing Preble Shawnee Arrows 6-2 in a Friday night non-conference matchup.
“It was a beautiful day for baseball and a beautiful day for a Wave win,” said Greenville coach Adam Eberwein.
“It was nice to see us hit coming off the loss from Wednesday,” Eberwein added. “Cole Oswalt pitched a very efficient complete game. He had good command, and his offspeed was very effective. Cole had multiple one-pitch batters.”
Greenville opened the night’s scoring with a run-scoring single off the bat of Bryce Blumenstock and took a 2-0 lead with the Arrows coming to the plate. Preble Shawnee answered with a run in the bottom of the inning for a 2-1 Wave lead after three complete.

The Arrows plated a run in the bottom of the seventh giving the Greenville a 6-2 win over the Preble County school.
“Defensively we played a fairly clean ballgame,” Coach Eberwein stated. “Offensively we did hit the ball well today, but still left too many runners on base in scoring positions.”
Oswalt pitched a complete game 4 hitter allowing 1 earned run, and 1 walk while striking out 6 Arrows.
Greenville outhit Preble Shawnee 10-4, the Wave committed 2 errors, and Preble Shawnee had 4 errors.
