Spikes, Scrappers Canceled by Rain After Three Innings on Thursday

June 5, 2025 - Major League Baseball Draft League (MLBDL)
State College Spikes News Release


NILES, Ohio - The State College Spikes' game against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers was halted by rain after three innings on Thursday night at Eastwood Field, with continued showers in the Niles area eventually forcing its cancellation.

The game, which was tied 0-0 when it was called, will not be completed or made up and will not count in the MLB Draft League standings as it did not reach the five innings, or 4 Â1/2 with the home team leading, required to make it an official game.

Spikes (0-1) starter Roman Kimball eluded trouble in his three innings on the mound, yielding one hit and four walks but no runs while striking out three batters. Scrappers (1-0) starter Terry Hayes faced the minimum over three innings, allowing just one hit batsman while striking out three batters.

The Spikes now head back home to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park to start Opening Weekend of the home schedule against the West Virginia Black Bears on Friday at 6:35 p.m. State College will go with either left-hander Davis Webb or left-hander Wyatt Evans to start on the mound.

The fun begins starting with Opening Night presented by PSECU on Friday, featuring fantastic FIREWORKS after the game and a Schedule Poster Giveaway for the first 500 fans on a 4-Pack Friday presented by 93.7 3WZ.

Plus, one lucky fan will get the chance to toss for $26,000 in the $26,000 Opening Night Pitching Challenge.

The fun continues Saturday with another spectacular FIREWORKS show presented by Penn State Health, followed by the first Bark in the Park of the season, with free admission for all dogs, on a Sunday Funday presented by Big Froggy 101.
