State College Spikes News Release


JAMESTOWN, NY - Andrew Sohn's first professional home run began a big sixth inning and started a string of six unanswered State College Spikes runs to send them past the Jamestown Jammers, 6-2, on Saturday night at Russell Diethrick Park.

Sohn, the 2014 sixth-round draft choice of the St. Louis Cardinals out of Western Michigan, sent a solo shot over the left field wall as the leadoff man in the sixth inning. The Spikes (6-3) would go on score four runs in the frame to erase a 2-0 deficit. Jhohan Acevedo and Danny Diekroeger each tripled to keep the State College scoring burst going, with Alex De Leon's wall-ball double also plating a run.

Collin Radack contributed a ninth-inning RBI single as a wild pitch contributed to two insurance runs for the Spikes in the ninth as well.

State College received superb relief pitching from Tyler Bray (1-0), who made his professional debut on Saturday, and Nick Lomascolo. Bray retired all six batters he faced, including three strikeouts, for the win. Lomascolo tossed three scoreless frames, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out two.

Cody Schumacher gave up two runs, one earned, over three innings in his first pro start for the Spikes. Schumacher also yielded two hits, a walk and a hit batsman while recording one strikeout.

Acevedo and Diekroeger each produced a double as well as a triple during the game. The two three-base hits were the first notched by the Spikes this season. Brian O'Keefe also collected a double for State College.

Jamestown (2-7) reliever Jerry Mulderig took the loss after allowing four runs, three of them earned, on four hits and a hit batsman over two innings.

Chase Simpson hit a solo home run for the Jammers in the second inning, while Carl Anderson went 2-for-4 with a triple and scored a run. The loss was Jamestown's sixth in a row.

Sunday, the Spikes head to Dwyer Stadium to face the Batavia Muckdogs in the first game of a two-game series. First pitch is slated for 5:05 p.m. Batavia took two out of three games from State College this past week at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, and holds a one-game edge over the Spikes in the New York-Penn League Pinckney Division standings.
