CHAMPS!

The Ramblers captured the EIHL Tournament championship Saturday night with a 7-1 victory over Farley. Pitcher Curt Dixon got the win in his Key West debut on the mound and outfielder Cory Davidson stayed white hot.

Davidson's inside-the-park three run homer in the sixth inning broke open a 5-1 lead and gave Dixon more than enough breathing room. Davidson lined the 3-2 pitch to left field and the ball rolled all the way to the wall after the left fielder came up empty on a diving attempt. Davidson went 3-for-4 with four RBIs on the night and finished the tournament 8-for-10, making him Key West's unofficial tournament MVP.

Dixon, making his first start in about eight months, gave up only one run, seven hits and three walks while striking out five in six innings of work. Dixon mixed in an array of pitches and appeared to get more comfortable as the game went along. He finished with a pitch count of 97.

The Ramblers (6-0) got on the board first after Tim Carty's first-inning double drove in Tyler Sincock, who doubled to lead off the game. Chris Briggs added a two-out RBI single two batters later. Davidson and Dan Spain also added RBI singles of their own to cap the scoring.

Farley got its only run in the second inning when Bryan Gisel homered to left. Brian Miller, who went 2-for-4, was the only Farley player to tally multiple hits.

Key West returns to Prairie League play on Sunday when it hosts Peosta at Table Mound Field. First pitch is set for 1:30 p.m.
