-SPIKES CONTINUE ROAD TRIP IN HUDSON VALLEY: The State College Spikes look for their sixth straight road win after starting the year 4-19 on the road in with the second game in a three-game set against the Hudson Valley Renegades at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill, NY. State College is 8-7 all-time against the Renegades and 5-2 against Hudson Valley in Fishkill.

-LAST GAME: Carlos Mesa's two-out RBI double plated the go-ahead run for the State College Spikes in the sixth inning, enabling Nick Kingham to earn his third win of the season after another strong start as the Spikes held on a for a 2-1 victory over the Hudson Valley Renegades on Wednesday night at Dutchess Stadium. Mesa, who has been on the disabled list since August 3 before being reinstated on Wednesday, had been selected to play in the New York-Penn League All-Star Game held Tuesday in Lowell, MA, but could not participate due to injury. It was Kingham's seventh straight start in which he allowed one run or less over five innings or more, and his first start without a strikeout.

-STEVENSON STEPS UP TO START FOR SPIKES: Right-hander Trent Stevenson gets the ball for State College tonight in his fourth start of 2011 for the club. Last time out, Stevenson made a quality start, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one over a career-long six innings of work. The 2009 seventth-round draft pick of the PIrates, Stevenson has just one road outing for the Spikes in 2011.

-PARTRIDGE LOOKS TO GET RENEGADES HAPPY: In a change, Hudson Valley left-hander Jacob Partridge gets the ball for the Renegades tonight. Partridge takes the place of originially scheduled starter Andrew Bellatti. The southpaw, an 18th-round draft choice of the Rays in 2009 out of John R. Rogers (WA) High School, has gone at least five innings in each of his last five starts. Last time out, Partridge took the loss after giving up four runs to Tri-City.
