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.

UNIVERSITY PARK — That cushy lead State College Spikes leadoff hitter Brock Holt helped build meant he didn’t stay on the field for the ending.

So Holt watched Friday’s final four innings from the dugout, a comfortable spot to revel in a rare feat.

But he rested without discussion of his accomplishment.

Holt never realized until after Friday’s 8-0 victory over Brooklyn before a Medlar Field at Lubrano Park-record 5,708 fans he had a hit in five consecutive innings.
