STATE COLLEGE -Adalberto Santos smashed two wall-ball doubles in his first game as a State College Spike, and Matt Skirving’s RBI single in the eighth pushed across the eventual game-winning run as the Spikes earned their first win, 8-7, over the Batavia Muckdogs on Monday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

Santos, the 35th-round pick of the Pirates in this year’s Major League Baseball Draft, doubled off the wall in his very first at-bat with State College (1-3), then hit a bases-loaded double to knock in three runs in the sixth inning.

The Oregon State alum also scored the tying run during the Spikes’ eighth-inning comeback. Down two runs entering the bottom half, the Spikes got jump-started by Chase Lyles’ one-out triple. After Santos walked, Kelson Brown singled in Lyles. Batavia (2-2) reliever David Kington (0-1) then uncorked a wild pitch that scored Santos from third, leading to Skirving’s heroics
