The game remained scoreless through the fifth inning Sunday night with the Doubledays (36-33) taking the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. Brian Van Kirk tripled to center field, scoring Bryan Kervin and Christopher Hopkins to give Auburn a two-run lead. The Doubledays added a run to their lead in the seventh inning when Chris House scored on a passed ball by Spikes' catcher Josue Peley.

Ramon Aguero (1-9) took the loss for the Spikes (16-52) after pitching three innings of relief for State College. Aguero allowed three runs on four hits while striking out four.

Auburn reliever Jared Potts (1-0) earned the win for the Doubledays in his three-inning outing, allowing only two hits. Matthew Daly, who received the win last night, earned his fifth save of the season.
