Bade’s double gives Keys win over Spikes

FREDERICK, Md. – Manny Jackson’s two-out, two-run double in the sixth gave the State College Spikes the lead but Devan Bade’s three-run, walk-off double in the ninth gave the Frederick Keys the win, 8-7, on Wednesday night at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium.

Jackson’s clutch double put the Spikes (6-7 2nd Half) ahead, 7-5, going into the bottom of the ninth. However, the Keys (6-8 2nd Half) loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batsman before Bade slugged the first pitch he saw into the left-center field gap to plate Trey Lipsey, Irvin Escobar and a sliding Cam Hessert for the win.

State College had taken its first lead of the game with a five-run third inning capped by an RBI infield single from T.J. Salvaggio and a two-run single to center field from James Oman.

Dan Tauken went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base. Tauken ripped his first hit, a single, at 103.1 miles per hour in the second, then smashed a double that traveled at 98.8 miles per hour in the fifth. Trotter Boston went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases, while Cole Caruso reached base four times on a single and three walks.

Jack Hagan recorded a hold with two perfect innings of relief for State College. Anthony Steele (0-2) took the loss after allowing the first three batters on base in the ninth.

Jamal Ritter went 3-for-4 for the Keys, while Cam Hassert drew four walks, the last in the ninth to set up the winning hit. Griffin Green (1-0) walked one batter and struck out one in a scoreless ninth to get credit for the win.
