The Keys were off to the races as Flacco stole second base and scored on CF Miguel Abreu's RBI-single to give the Keys a 2-0 lead.
Kinston would quickly rally scoring two runs on three hits in the fourth inning.
In the seventh inning, Abreu was caught in the mix of it again. Abreu was hit with the first pitch dealt by reliever Trey Haley.
