Andrew Redman went 5-for-5 on Sunday and Key West rolled up a 12-2, 10-run rule victory over visiting Bernard. The victory came a day after the Ramblers struggled offensively in a 3-0 loss to Farley in the EIHL preseason tournament title game. Key West now sits at 3-2 overall.
Redman, now 12-for-17 (.706) through the first five games, got things going early in the win over Bernard with a base hit and a run as part of a two-run first. The Rambler second baseman then mashed an RBI double in a three-run third. He helped end the game in the eighth with a run-scoring single as part of a five-run frame.
Shortstop Dan Spain also enjoyed a fine day. He went 3-for-5 with a fifth-inning homer - his first of the season and 13th of his Rambler career. Spain drove in one and scored three times out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup.
On the mound, Kenny Capesius made his first start of the season. He fired an eight-inning complete game, posting a line of: five strikeouts, two walks, five hits and two runs (both earned). Bernard got its only two runs off Capesius on Matt McCullough's two-run blast with two outs in the top of the fourth.
Key West totaled 17 hits versus Bernard. Additional Ramblers with two or more hits included center fielder Ben Oglesby (2-for-4) and third baseman Luis Reyes (2-for-4).
In Saturday's loss to Farley, the Ramblers managed only three hits off of Jared McIntosh. Redman kept his hitting streak intact by recording a fifth-inning single.
Jake Schaeffer started on the mound for Key West and was tagged with the loss. He allowed two runs (both earned) on four hits and three walks in 3.2 innings.
