Key West starting pitcher Ryan Kelly threw four hitless innings, striking out 11 of the 13 batters he faced in picking up the win. Relievers Ethan Carlson and Sean O'Connor pitched the final three innings. Carlson struck out five and allowed just one hit in two innings of work, while O'Connor struck out all three hitters he faced.
At the plate, Dan Spain picked up where he left off last season with three hits in four at bats. Toby Decker and Tyler Sincock both went 2-for-4 with a double. The Ramblers tallied 11 hits, five walks and took five hit-by-pitches on the day.
Bankston got its only hit in the fifth inning when Andy Ross doubled to center field. Bankston hitters reached base just three times the entire afternoon.
The Ramblers (1-0) now look forward to a 6 p.m. contest on Saturday at Dyersville as part of the EIHL Tournament.
