Rain altered the Farley Tournament schedule, requiring the Ramblers to win twice on Sunday in order to advance the championship game. Key West did just that, topping Peosta 2-1 and Dyersville 8-1. The Ramblers will go for their second Farley Tournament title in four years when they take on the host team at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
Key West (10-4) trailed 1-0 after five innings against Peosta and starting pitcher Zach Althaus in a quarterfinal clash. The Ramblers then came through with a run apiece in the sixth and seventh innings to make a winner of Anthony Ruden, who threw all seven innings for Key West. Ruden also went 2-for-4 with a double.
In the day's second game, Dan Spain earned the win on the mound over Dyersville. Chris Briggs and Andrew Redman both went 2-for-4 to lead a 10-hit attack. The Ramblers got one run in the first, three in the second and two apiece in the sixth and seventh frames.
Now winners of four in a row and seven of its last eight games, Key West will look to duplicate its 2011 Farley Tournament title. That season the Ramblers defeated Dubuque, Bellevue, Cascade and Epworth to capture the Farley crown.
