Williamsport Crosscutters News Release
In a game that featured a pitching duel between the starting pitchers and three lead changes, the seesaw did not tilt in the favor of the Williamsport Crosscutters as they dropped the series opener in State College to the Spikes 6-5 on Tuesday night.
Williamsport out-hit State College 8-6 in the loss, led by Carson Bayne's first home run of the season for the Cutters, a two-run 364-foot fly ball to right-center in the third inning. The Cutters had multi-hit nights from Sam DeCarlo and the returning KJ White, each going 2-for-4 and DeCarlo adding a double, Nick Barone, James McCoy, and Jake Zitella each added a hit as well.
Kenney Fabian was strong in his debut as tonight's starter as he allowed two runs, one earned, with two hits, three walks and two strikeouts through five innings of work on the mound. Davin Pollard suffered the loss, his first of the year, going 1 1/3 innings allowing three runs, all earned, on three hits with one walk and one strikeout. Brody Roe was charged with a blown save, his second of the season, allowing a home run in 2/3 of an inning. Luc Lavigueur stopped the bleeding, pitching the final inning hitless while striking out two.
