Ramblers rally for 10-7 win

The Ramblers found themselves in unfamiliar territory Sunday afternoon, facing a 6-0 deficit as they came to bat in the bottom of the first. But Key West was not about to let Peosta blemish its perfect record.

The Ramblers (7-0) responded with six runs of their own in the first frame in route to a 10-7 Prairie League victory. Jared Munson led off the first with a double, Dan Spain followed with a walk and Michael Jimenez knocked in the first Key West run with a RBI single. Justin Kuhle drove in Spain with a RBI ground out and Alex McKinlay added a RBI single three batters later. Cole Boge then plated a pair of runs with a triple to right field.

Key West went on to score one run each in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Five Ramblers notched multiple hits, including Chris Briggs (3-for-5), Spain (2-for-3), Boge (2-for-4), Jimenez (2-for-4) and Munson (2-for-4). Of the Ramblers' 13 hits, six went for extra bases.

On the mound, Greg Farrey came up big in relief of starter Ethan Carlson, who struggled with his control and was pulled in the first inning. Farrey recorded the win after throwing 4.2 innings of scoreless baseball. Sean O'Connor pitched the final four innings to pick up his first save.

Play resumes Tuesday when the Ramblers entertain Dyersville at 7 p.m. at Peosta. It will be Key West's EIHL home opener.
