Guy Cipriano UNIVERSITY PARK — It’s a place the State College Spikes have been 14 times. It’s a place they just might end this season unless all three phases begin clicking at once. The Spikes will arrive at work today as a .500 team, a middling sensation they haven’t shaken 50 games into the New [...]

By Jake Kaplan Collegian Staff Writer The State College Spikes’ bullpen did nearly everything it could to give its team a chance to win Sunday night. After left-hander Zac Fuesser had a rough start, allowing three runs in his 3.2 inning start, the right-handed duo of Ryan Beckman and Mitch Fienemann held the Tri-City ValleyCats [...]

By Jake Kaplan Collegian Staff Writer Despite comebacks in the seventh and eighth innings, the State College Spikes couldn’t overcome a final surge by the Jamestown Jammers.

From CDT staff reports JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The State College Spikes will be happy to leave Diethrick Park. Especially the pitchers. The Jamestown Jammers put double- digit runs on the board for the second straight night, defeating the Spikes 10-6 on Tuesday to sweep the twogame series. Marcell Ozuna hit two home runs — a [...]

Marcell Ozuna of the Jamestown Jammers is certainly sad to see the State College Spikes leave town. All Ozuna did in the two-game sweep of State College was have five hits with three home runs and drive in eight runs, including five runs in the thrilling 10-6 victory Tuesday night in a New York-Pennsylvania League [...]

STATE COLLEGE — Chase Lyles delivered his team-leading fifth home run of the season, a solo shot to left field in the eighth inning, but it was not enough as the State College Spikes went down to defeat at the hands of the Jamestown Jammers, 11-3, on Monday night at Russell Diethrick Park. Lyles’s home [...]

Guy Cipriano – gciprian@centredaily.com A three-game winning streak entering a break, especially one that included victories over Mahoning Valley and Auburn, former Pinckney Division heavyweights with more non-drafted free agents than early-round picks, shouldn’t produce this kind of optimism. Even the worst New York-Penn League teams — see, 2008 State College Spikes — win three [...]

STATE COLLEGE – Cole White accounted for four of the State College Spikes’ five runs, but a six-run eighth inning propelled the Williamsport Crosscutters to a 9-5 win at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Wednesday night.

Guy Cipriano UNIVERSITY PARK — Maybe it was the 1-hour, 18-minute rain delay before the first pitch. Or it could have been the presence of Reggy, a disproportioned, purple mascot known as one of baseball’s top touring acts. Or it just might have been a case of two teams hunting and barreling fastballs. Whatever it [...]
