Frederick Keys News Release


FREDERICK, MD - The Frederick Keys (59-67/28-29) came from behind twice in a 5-4 victory over the Wilmington Blue Rocks (65-63/26-32) on Wednesday night at Nymeo Field. Chris Clare had two game-tying RBIs in the contest.

Wilmington struck first in the second inning. After Wander Franco led off with a double, Travis Maezes launched a two-run home run off of Cody Sedlock.

The Keys immediately struck back in the bottom of the frame. Randolph Gassaway started things off with a single, and Armando Araiza advanced him to third on a single of his own. Jomar Reyes then brought in Gassaway with a double to left, making it 2-1 Blue Rocks. Chris Clare followed Reyes with a sacrifice fly to score Araiza and tie up the game.

In the third inning, the Keys got their first lead. Glynn Davis hit his second double, and eventually scored on a Gassaway sacrifice fly.

That lead would be erased in the fifth thanks to another home run by the Blue Rocks. Jecksson Flores singled, and Roman Collins launched a two-run blast to give Wilmington a 4-3 lead. Frederick would regain the lead in the sixth. Araiza doubled, and Reyes singled to begin the inning. Clare then roped a ball down the third base line for a double that scored Araiza and tied up the game. Jay Gonzalez hit an infield single to score Reyes and give the Keys a 5-4 lead.

Sedlock pitched five innings while allowing four runs on seven hits. The right-hander walked two and struck out three. Earning the win, Jay Flaa (4-3) pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless baseball, walking two and striking out four. Jefri Hernandez earned his first Keys save, throwing 2.1 innings of perfect baseball and striking out one.
