BURLINGTON, VT-Edward Garcia became the second State College Spikes player to collect four hits in one game and was one of three Spikes with three or more hits as State College pounded the Vermont Lake Monsters, 10-5, at Centennial Field on Sunday evening.

Garcia joined Carlos Silva as the only players with four-hit games for State College (29-28), and knocked in two runs to help the Spikes’ offensive cause. Silva collected his four-hit game against Auburn on July 27. Justin Byler and David Rubinstein had three hits apiece for State College, as the Spikes collected 14 hits as a team. Rubinstein added two RBI in the game.

FISHKILL, N.Y. — State College managed just three hits as the Spikes fell 4-2 against Hudson Valley in New York- York Penn League baseball action Saturday.

Hudson Valley’s Alexander Colome improved to 5-1 on the season, striking out seven and walking four in 51/ 3 innings against the third-place Spikes (25-25), who fell seven games behind Mahoning Valley and four behind Williamsport in the Pinckney Division.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington doesn’t relish deadlines despite what last August added to his farm system.

During his swing through State College, Huntington said it’s unlikely the organization will repeat last year’s flurry of last-minute draft signings.

The deadline for signing 2009 draft picks is Aug. 17.

The Pirates added infielder Pedro Alvarez, pitching Quinton Miller and outfielders Robbie Grossman and Wesley Freeman shortly before last year’s deadline. The quartet was a major reason the organization spent nearly $10 million to sign its 2008 picks.

“The reality is that last year was a situation we don’t want to repeat,” Huntington said before leaving Medlar Field at Lubrano Park late Wednesday night. “Hopefully, it’s a unique situation and one we never want to go through again.”

Collegian Staff Writer

State College Spikes third baseman Carlos Silva will be sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Silva was relegated to the clubhouse with his left forearm heavily bandaged and his arm in a sling Tuesday. He was drilled in the hand by a pitch during the third inning of the Spikes game against Aberdeen. Silva said he broke his ring and pinky fingers on his left hand. He said the broken fingers will cause him to miss at least six weeks.

CDT: A step back

State College’s offense struggles against Aberdeen

UNIVERSITY PARK — Two errors, a wild pitch, a hit batter, a walk, sacrifice bunt and sacrifice fly, thrown on top of a 27-minute rain delay, led to one miserable night for the State College Spikes.

A long, wretched eighth inning turned a once-brisk game into a 4-0 Aberdeen victory Tuesday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

The Spikes, who were also shut out Sunday by Jamestown, only had three hits off four IronBird pitchers.

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes feature an egalitarian situation at catcher. Miguel Mendez and Craig Parry entered Tuesday’s series opener against Aberdeen with identical statistics in three key categories.

Through 45 games, both catchers were batting .182 with 12 hits in 66 at-bats.

The numbers stunned manager Gary Robinson, who learned of the matching statistics after batting practice.

“It’s the best developmental process that I know,” he

said. “Nobody in the organization has put any pressure on me to make one of them a No. 1 and one of them a No. 2. The dictate I have from the organization is to make sure they are getting their playing time and to make sure they are getting their at-bats.”

CDT: Infielder making most of time

By Guy Cipriano

Carlos Silva?

Don’t panic if the name doesn’t evoke numerous memories.

Silva, an infielder and one of the primary reasons the State College Spikes went 3-1 on their recent four-game roadtrip, played in his first

home game Friday against Auburn at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

Silva made just two appearances until this week — June 27 at Auburn and July 6 at Williamsport. He returned to the lineup Monday at Auburn and hasn’t stepped off the field.

Happy homer: Solid pitching, Holt’s shot gets Spikes back to .500

By Guy Cipriano

UNIVERSITY PARK — Nelson Pereira started the top of the sixth by falling behind Chris Hopkins 3-1. The count limited Pereira to throwing fastballs. His intuition limited him to throwing those fastballs in certain spots.

Auburn Doubledays’ Ryan Goins (30) prepares to tag out State College Spikes’ Pat Irvine (39) as he attempts to steal second base the 2nd inning on Friday, July 31, 2009.

So Pereira uncorked two teasers.

Both high fastballs proved too irresistible for Hopkins to watch.

Pereira struck out Hopkins, Ryan Goins and Sean Ochinko during the sixth inning — one more sign the State College Spikes, who defeated Auburn 1-0 on Friday, have the same pitcher who led the rookie Gulf Coast League in ERA last season.
