FREDERICK, Md. – Carter Holjes shined in a season-long 4 2/3 innings of relief on Tuesday night and T.J. Salvaggio collected three hits, but the State College Spikes fell to the Frederick Keys, 7-3, on Tuesday night at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium.

Holjes, a key cog of the bullpen for the Spikes (6-6 2nd Half) as they took the MLB Draft League First Half Championship, retired ten consecutive batters at one point and yielded two unearned run on one hit and three walks while striking out six batters.

Entering in the second inning, the Florida Atlantic right-hander kept the Keys’ (5-8 2nd Half) 5-0 lead from growing, allowing the Spikes to battle back to within 5-3.

Salvaggio, who entered the game 2-for-23 at the plate, produced a trio of hits to break his slump. Jaden Collura also recorded a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 with a walk and driving in a run with a fifth-inning single to center field.

Manny Jackson drove in two runs with a single to right field in the fourth as well.

Frederick took advantage of a total of ten walks and two key State College errors in the seventh to stake themselves to a lead and hold it. Isaiah Greene drove in two runs with a pair of bases-loaded walks, while Parks Bouck provided an RBI single.

Keys starter Paul Panduro (2-2) went five innings for the win, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two batters along the way. Ahmad Harajli (1-3) started and took the loss after being charged with five runs over the first 1 2/3 innings.
