Scrappers knock off State College 4-0

In the midst of a rough season, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers may have found a diamond on the diamond.

Starting pitcher Alex Kaminsky, a non-drafted free agent from Wright State, pitched five shutout innings to lower his ERA to 2.04 and lead the Scrappers to a 4-0 win over State College on Tuesday.

Kaminsky gave up three hits and two walks, striking out four. He entered the game with a 2.37 ERA, which was tied for eighth-best in the New York-Penn League.
