Frederick Keys News Release


Those coming to the game for the fireworks show after the game got plenty of fireworks during the game. The Frederick Keys jumped all over the Lynchburg Hillcats, and held on to win 7-3.

Right-hander Jake Arrieta got the start for Frederick and pitched four strong innings, allowing one earned run on two hits. The right hander walked just one batter, and struck out a mind-blowing nine batters.

Wieters had a very impressive debut as well, going 2-3 with two homeruns, a walk, three RBI and three runs scored. Keys right fielder Chris Vinyard added three hits and two RBIs, as well.

Keys 3B Bill Rowell had to be pulled from the game in the bottom of the first inning, after pulling up lame trying to beat out an infield single.

The Keys and the Hillcats will lockup in game two tomorrow, at 2:00 at Harry Grove Stadium. Second year Keys pitcher Brandon Erbe will get the start for Frederick, and Jared Hughes will go for Lynchburg.
