Frederick Keys News Release
WINSTON-SALEM, NC. - Another big inning evaporated a 5-1 lead for the Frederick Keys (9-13) who dropped Saturday's contest 9-5 to the Winston-Salem Dash (12-11) at BB&T Ballpark. A seven-run sixth inning lead to the Keys undoing, as Matthias Dietz (0-3) struggle to locate and was charged with all seven runs. The Dash managed just three hits but benefited from two hit-batsmen and four walks in the frame and added another run in the eighth inning to cap off the win.
The Keys jumped on the Dash in the first inning 3-0 thanks to a solo home run from J.C. Escarra and a two-run shot from Jake Ring. Two innings later, Trevor Craport climbed aboard after an errand throw from Yeyson Yrizzari and scored on a two-out single from Jean Carrillo but Nick Madrigal answered with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the frame to make it 4-1. The Keys would score once more in the sixth inning on an RBI double from Mason McCoy before their 5-1 lead was erased.
David Lebron was excellent in his second professional start. The Florida-native gave up one run on four hits and struck out seven batters for the third time this season over five innings. Steven Klimek came on in relief of Dietz and walked four batters but worked out of two jams and finished the final two and a third innings. John Parke struggled to command his off-speed early on but lasted five innings while allowing four runs. Jake Elliott (2-0) gave up a run and three hits in two innings of work.
