The Frederick Keys defeated the Lynchburg Hillcats, 7-4, in Carolina League action at Ed Smith Stadium. Frederick pitcher Sergio López had a standout performance. The defending champion Keys are off to a horrible start to the season, notching only their 9th win in 23 games.

Frederick used a timely hit from Elton Davis to get the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Keys ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Sergio pitched his heart out," said Frederick manager Whit Merrifield.
