Frederick Keys News Release


Albeit the Keys never broke through with the big inning, but the Keys registered runs five times en route to a series evening 6-3 win in Lynchburg on Tuesday night. Tied at 3-apiece 3B Dale Mollenhauer and SS Garabez Rosa combined for consecutive doubles to provide the winning run.

Keys 1B Tyler Townsend would add to the advantage hitting the first pitch of the seventh-inning over the center-field wall to put the Keys atop 6-3. The home run was the seventh of the season for Townsend, tops on the club.

The Keys got consistent production from all over the order as seven of its nine batters registered hits. Mollenhauer and LF Steve Bumbry led the way with two hits apiece. Bumbry's big swing came in the fifth inning.

With Lynchburg on top 3-2, Bumbry reached out and lined a two-out game-tying single to center-field to get the Keys back even.

Frederick got a strong start from LHP Nathan Moreau (3-2) who went six innings to get his first win since April 20th. Ryohei Tanaka and Sean Gleason combined for three scoreless innings to shut the door. Gleason earned his seventh save - tying for the league's lead.

The Keys will welcome the return of LHP Rick Zagone to the hill for its 6:05 p.m. start in the rubber-match if it's three-game series Wednesday, May 12th. Coverage will begin at 5:45 p.m. on 1450 AM The Source.

Frederick will return home for Bark in the Park Monday, May 16th presented by Crossroads Animal Referral and Emergency. Game time for the annual event is 7:00 p.m. as the Keys take on the Potomac Nationals.
