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.

CDT: Sloppy play costs Spikes

UNIVERSITY PARK — State College Spikes pitcher Tyler Cox faced a brutal task during Sunday’s fifth inning against Williamsport.

The Crosscutters had a 2008 supplemental first-round draft pick at-bat, a hard-swinging designated hitter with two doubles on deck, one of the New York- Penn League’s top prospects in the hole, a runner on third and no outs.

Cox ensured Jiwan James never scored by striking out Zach Collier, Leandro Castro and Sebastian Valle.

But a failure to execute routine tasks resulted in a 5-3 loss before a Medlar Field at Lubrano Park-record 5,757 fans.

State College’s Elevys Gonzalez takes a swing against Williamsport starter Siulman Lebron on Friday. Hits were at a premium for both teams as the Spikes turned to small ball to nip the Crosscutters 5-2.

Their New York-Penn League affiliates could be headed toward a similar series.

After a 52-day break extended by a 1-hour, 35-minute rain delay, the SawBuck Series sabbatical ended with the State College Spikes defeating the Williamsport Crosscutters 5-2 Friday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
