Jamestown 28-38) used a four-run fifth inning take the opener 4-2.

Jamestown had taken a 2-0 lead in the third on Zach Moore’s RBI double and Chris Wade’s RBI single. Elevys Gonzalez singled in a run in the fifth for State College.
Skyler Crawford (3-3) pitched three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win.

Mike Williams, who relieved Baker in the fifth, didn’t fare as well. Williams (2-2) gave up three hits and four runs, though three were unearned thanks to two Spikes errors.
Chris Wade led off with a single, but Williams had him picked until first baseman Byler threw wild. Wade ended up at third and scored on Dustin Dicker-son’s double. After a sacrifice bunt, Mark Wyatt drove home Dickerson with a double. After a walk and an out, Wyatt scored on shortstop Ty Summerlin’s error. Brandon Holden relieved Williams and walked the next two batters to force in a run.
Limited to one hit through the first five innings, the Spikes scored two runs in the sixth. With one out, Kyle Saukko, Evan Chambers and Summerlin rapped consecutive singles, with Saukko scoring on Summerlin’s single. Byler added an RBI groundout.
Summerlin had two of the Spikes’ four hits in the first game.
