Keys Look To Turn Over A New Leaf
The First Half of the Carolina League's season has come to a close, and the Frederick Keys are looking to put a tough stretch of baseball behind them. The Keys, who went 20-49 over the past two months, will look to "turn over a new leaf" on Monday when their schedule returns to 0-0 as the Second Half of the Carolina League's schedule begins.
To show how serious they are about this chance at a fresh start, the Frederick Keys will offer a ticket discount to any fan that is willing to "turn over" a leaf to the box office next Monday through Wednesday when the Keys play the Winston-Salem Warthogs at Harry Grove Stadium.
All fans that present a leaf of any kind on one of those three nights will be rewarded by the Keys with a coupon good for $2 off an adult general admission ticket.
