Frederick Downs Lynchburg, 8-2
The 8-2 Frederick win over Lynchburg was due largely to Chuck Ward. The Keys third baseman went 1 for 2 with a walk and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was 23-year old right-handed pitcher Randy Delgado. He tossed 92 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. José Velásquez earned save number 2 this season.

Gjèrgji Thika had a big 2-run double for the Keys in the bottom of the third inning. With Frederick leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Juan Cruz and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 11th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Keys ahead, 3-0.

"I felt good up there," said Ward. "I saw the ball well."

Frederick has now won 3 straight, while the Hillcats have lost 3 in a row.
