Frederick Keys News Release
The Keys entered Thursday night's game looking for their first five-game winning streak since the 2006 season but did not prevail. Frederick lost big to Myrtle Beach, 15-5. Keys' pitchers walked a total of 11 Pelicans on the night and Frederick committed three errors in the field.
