-SPIKES ENTER FINAL 2009 HOME SET: The State College Spikes return home tonight to start a three-game series against their SawBuck Series foes, the Williamsport Crosscutters. The three games will be the last for the Spikes at home in 2009, as State College will not host any games in the month of September.

State College dropped game one, 4-2, and took a 2-2 tie into the eleventh inning of game two before Jamestown's Kyle Jensen hit a walk-off homer to give the game to the Jammers. Elevys Gonzalez collected his first two hits as a Spike in the second game, and Brock Holt went 1-for-5 and scored a run in his return to the lineup. Ty Summerlin had a multi-hit game in the first half of the twin bill.

-MAC TAKES HILL FOR SPIKES: Right-hander Kyle McPherson gets the ball for State College tonight. McPherson leads the Spikes with 11 starts, and has made quality starts (six or more innings with three or less earned runs) in eight of his last nine outings.
