It's Over! Frederick Defeats Winston-Salem Tuesday, September 23rd , 2025 The Frederick Keys earned their 1st Round 2 title and now have all winter to spend basking in the glory, while the beaten Winston-Salem Dash will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong. Frederick became the Carolina League champion for 2025 with a 2-1 triumph to capture the series 4-2. "Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," winning manager Whit Merrifield said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits." Winston-Salem skipper Brent Metheny agreed with that assessment, saying his club turned out to be "a little weak on fundamentals" at crucial times. "I have a sneaking suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring," he said. On the way to the Round 2 championship, the Keys ended up in first place in the Northern Division and compiled a 79-61 record during the regular season. View Boxscore |
