Spikes Raise Rally Flag, Beat Aberdeen, 10-3
Led by 21-year-old Kenny Merola, the State College Spikes downed the Aberdeen Ironbirds, 10-3. Merola went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for State College. With the win, the Spikes sit at 41-27.

State College used the timely hitting of J.J. Maslach to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Spikes on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Ah, the sweet taste of victory," Merola crowed after the game.
