In the first inning with two men down Keys DH Jacob Julius hit a two-run home run to right-center field to give the Keys a 2-0 lead. They would not look back. The Keys scored two more runs on three extra base hits in the fourth inning to lead 4-0. The last of the hits was the first for Flacco, an RBI-triple to score the Keys fourth run.
The Keys added another run on a two-out RBI-triple from CF Miguel Abreu to lead 5-0 in the fifth inning.
Pettit and Flacco were added to the roster as starter Oliver Drake was promoted to Double-A Bowie and 1B Tyler Townsend returned to the disabled list with hamstring tightness.
The Keys continue the four-game series in Wilmington on Friday, July 15th at 7:00 p.m. with LHP Nathan Moreau on the hill looking for his 10th win of the year.
