CDT: Spikes’ roster in major shuffle mode

UNIVERSITY PARK — The State College Spikes went on a six-game roadtrip and returned to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park with a new team.

Spikes left-hander Mike Felix made his season debut with the team on Sunday against Mahoning Valley. He threw four innings of relief in a 5-4 Scrappers win.

OK, that’s stretching it. But today’s Spikes don’t resemble the group that started the season here earlier this month.

AUBURN, N.Y. — Hits were at a premium for the State College Spikes on Thursday night.

Auburn Doubledays starter Joel Carreno took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and kept the Spikes at bay in a 4-1 Auburn victory at Falcon Park.

The Doubledays, a Toronto Blue Jays affiliate who also took advantage of three State College errors, have won 11 of their 15 meetings with the Spikes in Auburn.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Last year is behind the State College Spikes.

Spikes player Matt Payne talks with a television station during the team’s media day at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Thursday, June 18, 2009.

Or is it really? Because 11 players wearing Spikes uniforms provide a baseball player’s glow — one that’s hidden to prevent giddiness, but exists internally — when somebody mentions 2008.

The quickest way to put a 18-56 in the trash runs through the bodies, minds, and perhaps most importantly, the arms of current Spikes making the jump from Bradenton of the Gulf Coast League.
