Jordan Hohensee fired a nine-inning complete game in leading Key West (18-18) to a 4-2 EIHL victory at Monticello on Thursday night.
Making just his second start of the season, Hohensee stayed in control throughout the night with impeccable command. He struck out eight and did not walk a single hitter. The Clarke University hurler allowed only one earned run on seven hits.
The Ramblers got on top immediately thanks to a first-inning error that allowed Dan Spain to score on Chris Brigg's grounder to short. Spain had singled to lead off the game.
Key West got the rest of its three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Austin Bradley's two-run triple to score both Cory Davidson and Briggs. Bradley trotted home when the next hitter, Chad Crabill, delivered an RBI grounder to second.
Hohensee worked out of trouble in the eighth inning to secure the two-run advantage. With one run already in, Monticello placed runners on first and second with just one out. Hohensee then induced a strikeout and a fly out to center to extinguish the threat on the way to earning his first victory as a Rambler.
Bradley (2-for-4) and Davidson (2-for-5) collected two hits apiece for the victors.
Key West returns to action on Friday when it travels to Cascade to take on the Reds in an EIHL duel. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.
