The State College Spikes are heading home tonight to take on the Frederick Keys! Here are the big storylines:
SLIPPING AWAY
After dropping 3 of 4 to the Crosscutters, the Spikes are now 5 games back from first place with 7 games left. They fell out of second place after the Keys won yesterday.
NO ORTIZ, NO BENJAMIN
Deniel Ortiz played his final game as a Spike on July 3 after a 10-2 home loss to the Crosscutters, while Samuel Benjamin finished his time with the Spikes the next day following a 6-2 road loss. Both players were major contributors this season and will be missed.
HOME SWEET HOME
The Spikes will play the rest of the first half at home, with 7 games left in this part of the season. After playing the Keys, they’ll host the Scrappers and Thunder from Tuesday to Saturday.
PROJECTED STARTING PITCHERS
Keys: RHP Tom Sun (0-0, 3.63 ERA)
Spikes: RHP Ben Harris (2-1, 3.71 ERA)
