Rain washes away Tuesday night contest


Only Mother Nature could halt the Ramblers quest for their eighth straight victory, or so it seemed Tuesday night. Key West led Dyersville 2-0 at Peosta in the bottom of the third when strong rains swamped A.J. Spiegel Park and forced the game to be postponed.

Michael Jimenez had driven home the game's first run in the first with a sacrifice fly to center field to score Dan Spain, who had reached on a double. The Ramblers got their second run after Matt Knabel's grounder eluded the third baseman, allowing Cory Davidson to trot home in the second. Andrew Redman completed three shut out innings on the mound in what would have gone down as his first start of the season.

The game with Dyersville will be re-scheduled for a later date. Next up for the Ramblers is Dubuque on Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Bellevue Tournament.
