Sean O'Connor pitched brilliantly again as the Ramblers brushed off Saturday's loss to Dubuque and defeated the host Farley Hawks, 5-1, Thursday night.O'Connor pitched eight innings and allowed only a single run and three hits. He struck out nine while walking one. O'Connor bumped his record to 3-0 on the season.
Neither team could put a tally on the scoreboard until Tim Carty's sixth-inning sacrifice fly drove in Dan Spain, who reached on a single, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error on the catcher.
The Ramblers (8-1) then added four runs in the seventh frame to open up a 5-0 lead. Andrew Redman began the outburst with a one-out hit-by-pitch. Justin Kuhle singled to shallow right field and Cole Boge followed a Cory Davidson strikeout with a RBI single to left center. Jared Munson, who went 2-for-3 with a double, then singled home Kuhle. A wild pitch on strike three to Tim Carty allowed Boge to score, and another wild pitch brought home Munson to give the Ramblers their final run of the ballgame.
Farley got its lone run in the seventh when Andy Seabrooke scored on a wild pitch. Farley starting pitcher Billy Schmitt tossed five shut out innings before giving way to reliever Brian Miller, who was tagged with the loss.
Ryan Kelly pitched a scoreless ninth-inning to cap Key West's eighth win of the season. Andrew Redman got his first start of the season in the field for Key West. He went 0-for-3 but lined out sharply to center field twice.
Farley will get another shot at Key West on Tuesday when the Ramblers host the Hawks at 7 p.m. at Peosta.
