Wednesday, August 22nd, the game will be continued at 5:30 p.m. The originally scheduled ballgame will begin after a short intermission and will be played in it's entirety.
The game was suspended with a runner on first base and one out for Frederick in the ninth inning. The game will be picked up in that spot.
Frederick took a four run lead in the second inning when they plated five consecutive runs in back-to-back innings to go on top 5-1.
2B Jonathan Tucker started the rally tying the game 1-1 with his second home run of the year. He would score a run in each of the first two innings after not scoring since August 4th.
With a healthy lead, Keys starter Brad Bergesen worked well allowing just two runs in eight innings of work.
But in the ninth inning Salem rallied to tie the game. With a run in and two men out, Keys reliever Jason Burch walked the potential tying runner in SS Wladimir Sutil. Sutil then stole second and scored on a two-run single by 2B Tim Torres.
