State College Spikes suffer loss, manager prevents fight on Saturday

Despite winning the first two games of the series, the State College Spikes had a slow start against the Auburn Doubledays, which resulted in chirping from the bullpen.

Spikes manager Johnny Rodriguez had to calm down both teams before a fight broke out on Saturday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

With 3,510 in attendance, the Spikes suffered an 8-4 loss.

Spikes right-hander Ronnie Williams was taking backlash from the Doubledays and eventually started losing his composure.

Rodriguez, who mentioned he was raised in Miami during the 70s and 80s and fought many times, saw this as a teaching opportunity.
