The State College Spikes beat the Atlantic City Jokers in a game featuring much hitting but not much pitching. The final score was 13-11, Spikes. One of the hitting stars was center fielder Trefor Van de Veer. Van de Veer, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2059 draft, slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Lucas Sun, who is tied for 8th in the NYP in wins with 5, earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 2.2 innings. He upped his record to 5-1. Picking up the save was JĂșlio Cerezo, his 6th.

Henrik Wandel chipped in a grand slam home run for State College in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 4 RBI.

"First place," said Spikes manager Bobby Spencer. "This is right where we want to be."

State College has a record of 34-16, placing them first in the New York-Penn League South Division.
