Kenny Capesius bumped his record to 4-0 by hurling eight shutout innings in a 9-0 home victory over New Vienna in Sunday's Prairie League contest. In Capesius' support, the Ramblers pounded out 14 hits to shake off a 3-0 loss to Farley at the Rickardsville Tournament on Saturday. Key West now sits at 19-6 overall and 5-1 in the Prairie League.
After allowing a leadoff single, Capesius settled in and struck out the side in the top of the first. He racked up five more K's on the day and held New Vienna to only four hits and one walk. Capesius lowered his ERA to 2.14 in 33.2 innings on the season.
Offensively, first baseman Chris Briggs continues to heat up. He went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in both the third and eighth innings. The Ramblers put the game out of reach with a four-run eighth that included a two-run single from second baseman Chad Crabill.
Briggs was one of five Ramblers with multiple hits. He was joined by Austin Bradley (2-for-4, run, two stolen bases), Brett LaMere (2-for-4, two RBIs, one run), Dan Spain (2-for-4, three runs, double) and Anthony Ruden (2-for-5, two runs, one RBI, one stolen base).
Bradley, who played the first eight innings in right field, relieved Capesius in the ninth. Bradley duplicated his scoreless frame from the day before. In 26 innings of work this season, Bradley has surrendered just six hits and a single run.
The Ramblers get back to EIHL action on Tuesday night when they host Farley at 7 p.m.
