UNIVERSITY PARK – Jaden Collura’s three-run double down the right field line capped a four-run seventh inning and propelled the State College Spikes to an 8-7 win over the Williamsport Crosscutters on Tuesday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

Down 3-0 after the fourth, the Spikes (13-18 2nd Half) started bouncing back in the fifth when a two-base error off the bat of the returning Gavin Lewis Jr. allowed two runs to score. In the seventh, Dan Tauken walked with the bases loaded to tie the game before Collura cleared them with his sixth double of the season.

The Spikes added some insurance in the eighth as a double steal sent Chenar Brown to second base and scored Conor Higgs before Trotter Boston’s double brought Brown home.

State College then had to withstand a late Crosscutters (15-15 2nd Half) rally that plated four runs and loaded the bases with two outs before Joey Parliment grounded into a game-ending fielder’s choice.

Collura went 3-for-3 in the game, adding a pair of singles. Vantrel Reed and Max Mandler each recorded three-hit games for Williamsport, with Mandler contributing two doubles.

Spikes reliever Skyler Riedinger (2-0) threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Williamsport reliever Isaac Fix (1-1) took the loss after being charged with two of the three runs resulting from Collura’s double in the seventh.
