State College Spikes’ Ty Summerlin turns the double play against Jamestown Jammers’ Rand Smith in the 1st inning on Sunday, August 2, 2009.
“B-Mo came in and said, ‘I’m not going to lie to you. He’s their best guy,’” left fielder Pat Irvine said.
Rosario then used a seven-inning forum to show why he’s one of top pitchers in short-season baseball.
Rosario pitched seven scoreless innings to lead the Jammers past the Spikes 7-0 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The soon-to-be 24-year-old right-hander allowed five singles and struck out six.

As the ball snuck behind State College Spikes catcher Craig Parry’s legs and rolled towards the backstop, Jamestown’s Rand Smith hustled down the first-base line.
The passed ball on the third strike allowed Smith to take first base and began an offensive explosion for the Jammers as they beat the Spikes 7-0 Sunday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The State College Spikes’ stay at the .500 mark was a brief one.

State College’s win in the opener was its third in a row and seventh in its last nine games. It also put the Spikes at 20-20, the first time they reached the .500 mark since they embarked on a seven-game losing streak in the middle of this month.

JAMESTOWN, NY-The State College Spikes split a doubleheader with the Jamestown Jammers Thursday night at Russell Diethrick Park, taking game one in eight innings, 3-2, before dropping a 9-4 decision in game two.
Brock Holt was the offensive star for State College (20-21), going 3-for-4 in game one and delivering his fourth home run of the year, a three-run shot to right field, in game two.
In game one, the Spikes scored twice in the top of the eighth inning to beat Jamestown (15-26). Justin Byler’s bases-loaded walk and Pat Irvine’s RBI fielder’s choice provided the eventual game-winning runs after an error loaded the bases with one out.
