Ramblers push win streak to nine with blowout of Worthington

Key West continued its roll with a 13-3 home victory over Worthington on Tuesday night in an EIHL contest. The Ramblers' ninth-straight win bumped their overall record to 15-4 and EIHL mark to 5-1. They have yet to lose in the month of June.

Led by 3-for-3 efforts each from Chris Briggs, Brett LaMere and Dan Spain, Key West piled up 18 hits in Tuesday's seven-inning affair. Briggs cracked a pair of doubles and Spain homered for the second time this season.

Anthony Ruden (3-for-6), Ben Oglesby (2-for-4) and Luis Reyes (2-for-5) also had multiple hit nights for the potent Rambler lineup. Ruden picked up the win on the mound while Worthington's Tyler Rahe took the loss.

At 15-4, the current Key West squad has equaled the best 19-game start in team history. The 2012 Ramblers, who finished 40-12 overall, also went 15-4 in their first 19 games.

Key West returns to action on Sunday (June 22) when it hosts Farley in a Prairie League battle. Game time is slated for 1 p.m. On that same day, the Ramblers open up at the Worthington Tournament where they take on Dubuque at 7:30 p.m. Key West has won the last two meetings with the Blues.
