UNIVERSITY PARK -- For the first seven innings of Wednesday night’s game between State College and Williamsport, things looked good for the Spikes as they held a seemingly comfortable 4-1 lead.

But then it happened as the Cutters exploded for eight runs over the final two innings to post a come-from-behind 9-5 win over their hosts.

Even though they didn’t score much until late in the game, Williamsport manager Chris Truby liked the way the game started.

“We started the game off well,” said Truby. “We swung the bats well in the first inning and I though we would be able to take off and go from there but it didn’t happen that way.”
