Shawn Scobee had three of Auburn's seven hits -two of them out of the ballpark - and Auburn won its fourth consecutive game, 6-1 over the State College Spikes at Medlar Field Sunday.
Auburn's longest winning streak of the season pulls them within a game and a half of the Jamestown Jammers (20-17) for first place in the Pinckney Division. The Doubledays are third, behind the Mahoning Valley Scrappers (20-19).

Scobee hit his first home run of the day - a solo shot to left field - in his first trip to the plate to lead off the third inning and put Auburn on top 1-0.

In his next at-bat, he sent a pitch over the left-field wall again for his third homer of the year, another solo shot to give the Doubledays a 2-0 lead.

Scobee added an RBI single in the seventh, which turned into a four-run inning to ensure a victory for the Doubledays.

Jonathan Diaz hit a two-run double, and Scott Campbell added an RBI on a State College error - one of two in the inning.

The Doubledays were error-free for the third game in a row.

Auburn starter Wilfreddy Aguirre pitched four shutout innings and allowed four hits to trim his ERA to 1.16 for the season.

Ron Lowe pitched an inning in relief, and Javier Nieves came in for two shutout innings to earn his first win. He allowed only two hits and struck out one. John Tritz pitched the final two innings and didn't allow a hit.
