Frederick, MD - The Frederick Keys defeated the West Virginia Black Bears by a final score of 6-5 on Wednesday. The Keys winning streak continues to be a season high for the Keys, who also clinched their first series win against the Black Bears.

Frederick scored first in the game after starting pitcher Luke Anderson went four scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. The right hander struck out three batters in the game.

Jake Plastiak started the first rally of the game in the 4th inning getting on base with a one out walk. Zac Fascia then singled and left runners at first and second base. With two outs, Anthony Herron Jr. came to the plate and hit a three-run home run to give the Keys a 3-0 lead.
