UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The State College Spikes and Aberdeen IronBirds took it to the limit and then some on Tuesday night before the IronBirds prevailed, 9-8, in the MLB Draft League Overtime Tiebreaker at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

The Spikes (12-12) took the lead on Evan York’s two-run single and Alex Mendoza Jr.’s RBI single in the fourth, then built it further in the fifth as CJ Richmond produced a two-run double, with an error and a subsequent Trent Turner RBI single plating more runs.

However, Aberdeen (13-12) took advantage of four Spikes errors to get within 8-5 entering the ninth, then started the inning by loading the bases on two hit batsmen and a walk before tying the game on Collin Priest’s two-run single and Dalton Bargo’s RBI single.

In the MLB Draft League Overtime Tiebreaker, State College chose defense but saw three straight walks, the last to Bishop Quarles, plate placed runner Chase Williams to give Aberdeen the win.
