A three-run first allowed Key West to quickly take control in the triumph over Worthington. Dan Spain and Chad Crabill collected an RBI each in the inning and Chris Briggs drilled a triple. Briggs would finish 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run.
That would prove to be all the run support lefty Matt Lozano would need. He went the distance for his fifth complete game of the season and struck out 10. He surrendered one run (earned) on six hits and a walk on the way to pushing his record to 6-1. He leads the team with 55.2 innings this season.
Left fielder Corey Davidson enjoyed an excellent game in the leadoff spot. He reached base all four times, going 2-for-2 with a pair of walks. He also scored twice.
In addition, right fielder Austin Bradley collected his second-straight two-hit game. He singled twice and was hit by a pitch.
Seven different Ramblers notched at least one hit as part of a 10-hit attack.
Key West 3, Balltown 0
The Ramblers returned to action the next night and rode the powerful right arm of Andrew Redman. The Clarke University standout tossed five innings and faced just two over the minimum, allowing two hits (both singles). Redman pushed his record to 5-2 in his seven starts this season.
The game stayed scoreless until the bottom of the fourth when Briggs doubled home Davidson. Crabill's ground out to short plated the second run of the frame to make it 2-0.
The Ramblers added one more run in the sixth and then watched Spain lock down his third save of the season. Spain faced only six hitters over his two innings in relief of Redman.
Davidson again went 2-for-2, while also working a walk. He has now reached base in nine-straight plate appearances, spanning three games. He is 5-for-5 with four walks during that stretch.
Matt Bedell went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles.
UP NEXT: The Ramblers are getting ready to take on Bernard on Saturday at 1 p.m. The game will be played in Cascade.
