Key West exploded for 12 runs in the eighth inning and ran away with an 18-1 Eastern Iowa Hawkeye League victory at Monticello on Wednesday night. Andrew Redman drilled his third homer of the season and was one of five different Ramblers to pile up two or more hits. Winner of back-to-back games for the first time this season, the Ramblers are 5-3 overall and 2-1 in EIHL action.The Ramblers led only 4-1 going into the eighth inning - a long frame that saw Key West send 21 hitters to the plate. Shortstop Dan Spain and center fielder Ben Oglesby both had two hits during the inning that started with Oglesby's single.
Spain led the attack with a 4-for-6 evening that included a double, three singles, three runs and four RBIs from the No. 2 spot in the lineup. From the leadoff spot, Redman began the game with a home run. Through eight contests, Redman is 16-for-29 with three home runs, three doubles, 11 RBIs and a 1.583 OPS.
Making his second start on the hill, Anthony Ruden went seven strong innings. He allowed just a single unearned run on two hits and five walks. He struck out five. He then gave way to Jordan Hohensee who threw scoreless eighth and ninth innings.
In addition to multiple hit games for Spain and Redman (2-for-6), Tim Carty went 3-for-5, Oglesby 3-for-6 and Jose Stelluti 2-for-4.
The Ramblers have now totaled a combined 32 runs on 30 hits over the last two games. They've won those contests by a combined score of 32-1.
After playing six-straight days, the Ramblers now enjoy a few days off before returning to action on Sunday when they take on East Dubuque at 12 p.m. in the first round of the Bellevue Tournament.
