Frederick Keys News Release
Frederick, MD - The Frederick Keys (18-19) were defeated by the Williamsport Crosscutters (24-13) on Sunday night by a final score of 5-3 at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium in the final game of the regular season.
The game was called after the 5th inning due to inclement weather.
The Keys put up two runs in the 1st inning on an RBI groundout by Alex Baeza (Utah) and an RBI single by Jake Plastiak (Kentucky).
However, a four-run 3rd inning for Williamsport on two home runs, a three-run homer by EJ Taylor and a solo homer by Carter Mize, put the Crosscutters ahead for good.
Before the bottom of the 3rd, rain swept through and delayed the game for an hour and eight minutes.
After play resumed, rain came back in the 5th and after Robert Brooks (Columbus State) grounded out to the end the inning and the weather not improving, the umpires decided to officially call the game.
The Frederick Keys finish the second half of the season with a record of 18-19 and in fourth place in the MLB Draft League standings. Combining the first half standings, the Keys finished with an overall record of 34-40 in 2022.
