NILES As the Mahoning Valley Scrappers embarked upon their first road trip of the season, they left with a 5-1 record and enough quality pitching to allow manager Travis Fryman to sleep well.

The Scrappers finished the six-game homestand with a 2-1 loss to the State College Spikes Wednesday at Eastwood Field in a New York-Penn League game. Once again, the Scrappers received excellent efforts from a pitching staff that generally throws strikes and retires batters with regularity.
