UNIVERSITY PARK — State College Spikes pitcher Tyler Cox faced a brutal task during Sunday’s fifth inning against Williamsport.
The Crosscutters had a 2008 supplemental first-round draft pick at-bat, a hard-swinging designated hitter with two doubles on deck, one of the New York- Penn League’s top prospects in the hole, a runner on third and no outs.
Cox ensured Jiwan James never scored by striking out Zach Collier, Leandro Castro and Sebastian Valle.
But a failure to execute routine tasks resulted in a 5-3 loss before a Medlar Field at Lubrano Park-record 5,757 fans.
