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 run off of Jamestown reliever Zach Robertson was part of a late Spikes (22-22) rally. After falling behind 6-0 in the first two innings, State College rebounded for a pair of runs in the sixth behind Kelson Brown’s double, Gift Ngoepe’s sacrifice fly, and an RBI single by Mel Rojas, Jr.

Ngoepe also contributed a double to the Spikes’ offensive effort, and served as the middleman on the Spikes’ 40^th double play of the year in the fifth inning.

State College starter Colton Cain (0-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on six hits over the first two innings. Cain also walked three batters and hit one.
