Spikes, Thunder Halted by Rain After Four Innings Sunday

State College Spikes News Release


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - After fighting through persistent rain on a historically cold May 30 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, the elements became too much and stopped Sunday's matchup between the State College Spikes and Trenton Thunder during the top of the fifth inning with the game tied, 0-0.

The high temperature of 49 degrees for the day was the lowest high temperature ever recorded in Centre County for May 30, and both teams' bats were chilled by the hurlers. State College (0-4) starter Chris Wall went three innings and allowed just one hit and two walks while striking out six batters, while Trenton's (3-1) Justin Garcia gave up no Spikes hits through four frames. Garcia yielded just a walk and a hit batsman while notching three strikeouts.

Andrew Moore pitched the last inning-plus for the Spikes and compiled one strikeout and one walk.
