-SPIKES FINISH SERIES AGAINST JAMMERS: The State College Spikes' six-game homestand rolls on tonight as they face the Jamestown Jammers to Medlar Field at Lubrano Park in the final game of a three-game series.

Jamestown leads the all-time series between the two teams, 33-26.

-LAST GAME: Junior Sosa ignited the State College Spikes' attack with the second inside-the-park home run in franchise history, giving Matt Benedictall the support he needed for his third win of the season as the Spikes downed the Jamestown Jammers, 3-1, on Wednesday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Sosa joined Nathan Southard as the only Spikes players with an inside-the-park round-tripper when he lined a 2-1 pitch to center field that went over the head of Jamestown's Marquise Cooper to the wall. Southard delivered his inside-the-park home run against Williamsport on August 3, 2006.

-HAFNER AT FULL SPEED FOR SPIKES: Right-hander Ryan Hafner gets the ball to start for State College tonight. Hafner has lowered his earned run average to 2.56 over his last three starts, placing seventh in the league in that category. The Pirates' 2010 17th-round draft pick has also held opponents to a .218 avergae, third-best in the NYPL. Hafner has not allowed a run in ten innings against the Jammers this year.

-JAMMERS LOOK FOR AID FROM REYES TONIGHT: Jamestown right-hander Helpi Reyestakes the mound to begin tonight's series finale for the Jammers.
