When Leandro Castro doubled off of Michael Felix with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, it was the first hit given up by State College Spikes pitching Thursday night.
Three two-run doubles to go along with a stellar pitching performance propelled the Spikes (37-36) to an 8-1 victory against the Williamsport Crosscutters (39-34).

WILLIAMSPORT — A haunted event called “Terror at Bowman” is coming to the Williamsport Crosscutters’ venerable home next month.
The State College Spikes started the terror a month early.
Bowman Field, the setting of numerous haunted nights for New York-Penn League teams, has turned into the scene for some of the Spikes’ best 2009 work.
The shrieks continued Thursday as the Spikes defeated the Crosscutters 8-1 to improve to 4-1 in Williamsport.
