For a team that was looking to win a game for the first time in three days, a late surge by the Batavia Muckdogs couldn’t have come at a worse time for the State College Spikes.

After holding a one-run lead heading into the ninth inning, the Spikes (34-36) defense faltered as they fell to the Muckdogs 8-7. The Spikes let the Muckdogs (36-34) begin the ninth inning with a double down the right field line and then watched as their lead slipped away beneath the bright lights at Dwyer Stadium.
