Keys Take Down Hillcats, 7-6
The Frederick Keys beat the Lynchburg Hillcats, 7-6, at Harry Grove Stadium. The Keys got a fine performance from catcher Cipriano Hernández, who went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Frederick reliever Ken Key picked up the win, while Ken Jordan took the loss for Lynchburg. Frederick is now 7-8.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Jon Ramos came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Lynchburg pitcher Ken Jordan, he hit a 0-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Frederick on top, 7-6.

"It was a solid, all-around game for us," said Frederick manager Whit Merrifield.
