Spikes crush Doubledays By Jake Kaplan COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER In Sunday night's loss, the State College Spikes scored two early runs but couldn't get the bats going again until the later innings. The Spikes tal lied two early runs yet again on Monday, but this time their offense continued to produce, and produce a lot. The Spikes rode nine early runs and eight innings of stellar pitching en route to a 14-5 victory and a series win against the Auburn Doubledays Monday night at Falcon Park in Auburn, N.Y. "You jump out to a big lead like that and it's easy for people just to fall asleep," designated hitter Chase Lyles said.

Tampa Bay sent defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick in next year's draft to Philadelphia to get Gagne, who spent 10 seasons with the Flyers. "In adding Simon to the Lightning, we acquire a very tal ented player that will play along side our top forwards," Yzerman said in a statement." "With his combination of speed and skill we are excited to have him with us and grateful he was willing to waive his no movement clause." "This trade not only makes us a better team in the short term, it helps create long-term flexibility for us, which all along has been one of our top priorities." In 664 NHL games, Gagne has 259 goals and 265 assists. He ranks ninth on the Flyers' career list in goals and 10th in points and games played. He had 17 goals and 23 assists in 58 games last season and added nine goals and three assists in 19 playoff games as Philadelphia reached the Stanley Cup finals before losing to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games. 5-run fifth pushes Cards past Phillies Upon Werth (right) dives back to first during Tuesday's game Three hits enough for Brewers to beat Pirates By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks each hit home runs for the second consecutive Capuano won for the first time in more t an ree years and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Monday night. Weeks homered for the third time in two days to extend his club record for homers by a Milwaukee second baseman to 18, and Fielder took over sole possession of the National League home run lead with his 23rd for the Brewers, who have won six of their past eight. Making his second start since the end of the 2007 season, we were able to put good swings on the ball and keep it going all night." After scoring twice in the first inning, the first two State College batters were retired to start the second. Then catcher Matt Skirving singled, starting a seven run rally that saw a string of seven straight Spikes reach base on five hits, an intentional walk and an error. The two-out scoring surge was capped off by a two-run home run to left field by Lyles, his team leading fourth of 2010. The Spikes added one run in the sixth stanza, three more in the seventh and another in the ninth. All nine batters in the State College starting lineup tallied at least one of the team's 14 hits. Lyles led the team, going 3-for Gagne is eligible to become a free agent after next season. "I'm very excited right now," Gagne said. "I'm looking at this opportunity as a new challenge and a new start. Tampa Bay was a team I was more than willing to waive my no-move clause." The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Walker has played in 304 career regular season games over seven seasons. The 30-year-old Alberta native was originally selected by the St. Louis Blues in the third round of the 1998 draft. Walker had two goals, three assists and 90 penalty minutes in 66 games last season with the Lightning. While with St. Louis, Chicago and Tampa Bay, Walker amassed four goals, 26 assists and 444 penal ty minutes during his NHL career. "We like the way Matt plays," Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said. "He's a character-intense player. He plays physical." "He's a stay-at-home guy that is a good penalty killer. On our team he can buy us dirty minutes and not be a liability, but be a positive force and help and defend our own zone." Walker said he has "always wanted to play in Philly" and that he would be a "good fit" with the Flyers. "My initial reaction was pure excitement," Walker said. Capuano (1-1) broke a franchise record 13-game losing streak by allowing a run on three hits and a walk with four strikeouts in five innings. Capuano, who missed the past two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery, hadn't won since May 13, 2007. His only start since Sept. 28, 2007, came in his season debut June 3. He had made seven relief appearances since but was needed because starter Doug Davis was placed on the disabled list last week. Todd Coffey, Zach Braddock, Kameron Loe and John Axford combined for four shutout innings of relief. Axford earned his 12th save in as many opportunities, allowing two men to reach before striking out Ryan Doumit and Ryan Church and getting Ronny Cedeno to ground out. Milwaukee won despite only 4 with the home run and three RBI. Right fielder Adalberto Santos, third baseman Kelson Brown and left fielder Pat Irvine added two hits apiece and combined for five RBI. State College (16-15) got its best pitching of the three-game series as Auburn (12-19) man aged just four hits. • Tyler Waldron put together arguably his best performance as a professional on his way to his first win. He gave up merely one hit in five shutout innings. A 2010 sth round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Waldron struck out five and walked none. The Spikes bullpen continued the shutout until Teddy Fallon gave up five runs in the bottom of the ninth. The blowout win capped off a 3- 3 road trip in which State College scored at least 11 runs in each of its three victories.
