UNIVERSITY PARK — Is there a baseball term that has more meanings than development?
Here they stand, 31 games into a 76-game schedule, and the State College Spikes are, well, developing.They dropped to 8-23 with a 13-5 loss to Jamestown on Sunday night. The adults call this development, absorbing short-term bruises for long-term gains.The Spikes' lineup changes daily. The arms never over exert themselves.They watch some opponents play the same lineup. They watch some opponents allow young starters to throw more than 90 pitches.
