The Kinston Indians, who boast the top pitching staff in the Carolina League, held the Keys offense in check on Friday night as Frederick mustered just three hits in a 4-3 series opening defeat at Grainger Stadium.

Down 1-0 in the fourth inning the Keys plated three unearned runs. After CF Kyle Hudson walked to leadoff the inning he reached second base on a wild pitch. Hudson took third on a ground out and scored when Indians SS Ronald Rivas booted a groundball with two outs in the inning. Two batters later, with two runners aboard, DH Jacob Julius lined a double to left field to clear the bases putting Frederick up 3-1.

The Indians would rally though as struggling RF Lucas Montero hit a game-tying two-run home run to right field knotting the contest at 3-3. Indians CF Jordan Henry, who wreaked havoc throughout, singled and went to third on a ball four wild pitch. He would score a batter later on a groundout for what would be the game-winning run.

The Keys went down in order six times in the game. Frederick did leave two in scoring position in the eighth inning.
