Niles, OH - The Mahoning Valley Scrappers won game one of a three-game series against the State College Spikes tonight 1-0 at Eastwood Field.

Richard Martinez's RBI groundout in the bottom of the first inning proved to be the only run the Scrappers would need as Mike Rayl and the bullpen stifled the Spikes bats.

Rayl exited after four innings and turned it over to Gregorio Rosario who picked up his first win of the season pitching two scoreless innings of relief.

Clayton Ehlert pitched a scoreless top of the ninth inning to record his eighth save of the season.

Zackry Dodson gave up the lone run in the first and got the loss for the Spikes.

Nick Bartolone opened the bottom of the first off Dodson with a double into left field. He later advanced to third base with one out on a passed ball by State College catcher Matt Skirving. With Bartolone at third and Jesus Aguilar at first base, after being issued a walk, Martinez grounded out to first baseman Matt Curry to drive in the only Scrappers run.

Rayl and three members of the Scrappers bullpen did the rest as Mahoning Valley won their second straight game against the Spikes and game one of this series.

The Scrappers will look for their third straight win against State College in game two tomorrow night. First pitch is at 7:05 p.m.
