JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - The Jamestown Jammers blasted five home runs in two innings to earn the 13-4 victory over the State College Spikes Monday at Russell Diethrick Park in Jamestown, N.Y.

Cole White began the game with a lead-off single, extending his hitting streak to 16 games.

Calvin Anderson earned his seventh RBI of the series with a single, scoring White and giving the Spikes (8-24) a one-run lead.

Anderson continued his recent offensive surge, going 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI.

Chase D'Arnaud, Quincy Latimore and Mark Carver produced back-to-back-to-back singles in the second inning, adding to State College's advantage.

D'Arnaud scored on Carver's infield single and Latimore added another run on White's sacrifice fly.

The Jammers (22-9) answered back in the bottom of the second, taking the lead after hitting three home runs off Spikes' starter Kyle McPherson.

Jamestown continued its assault in the third, adding three more runs off another two home runs.

Latimore and Carver both singled to lead off the fourth inning, with Latimore scoring on David Rubinstein ground out.
