Wenman, who already had three hits, then collected his fourth grounding a 1-2 pitch down the third-base line to score Shaw.
Earlier, with the Walkers down 5-2, Shaw had tied the game with a three-run homer with two outs in the sixth inning off Des Moines starting pitcher Keith Talley.
Walkers starting pitcher Eric Kunselman went five innings, allowing five runs on nine hits.
