Frederick Keys News Release
LYNCHBURG, VA. - The Frederick Keys (13-16) got a brilliant start from Cody Sedlock who blanked the Lynchburg Hillcats (15-15) on Saturday night 5-0 in a rain-shortened six-inning contest. Sedlock (2-0) limited the Hillcats to just two hits, all which came in the first inning, and two walks while striking out three in six scoreless innings. It is the second straight game the Keys have shutout the Hillcats.
Both teams were held scoreless unless Frederick broke through in the fifth. After Yeltsin Gudino doubled to put runners on second and third, Kirvin Moesquit cleared the bases on a triple to right field and later scored on a wild pitch to put the Keys up 3-0. The Keys continued to rally and scored two more runs on run-scoring hits from Jomar Reyes and J.C. Escarra to make it 5-0.
The Hillcats best chance came in the first inning when they advanced a runner to third but failed to score him after a groundout to shortstop to end the inning. Sedlock induced nine groundouts, including two double plays, and three fly balls. Juan Hillman (1-4) only allowed one hit through the first four innings, but was charged with all five runs after failing to finish the fifth inning.
The Keys conclude the weekend series against the Hillcats on Sunday, May 5. RHP Brenan Hanifee (2-2, 6.65 ERA) takes the mound against RHP Justin Garza (2-3, 5.97 ERA) with first pitch slated for 3:00pm. Pregame coverage begins at 2:45 p.m. on frederickkeys.com and the TuneIn radio app.
