Key West has jumped out to an 11-2 overall record, including 4-0 in Prairie League games, behind three regulars hitting above .400. NAIA All-American Andrew Redman picked up where he left off after completing his collegiate career at Clarke University. He's hitting .522 and has yet to allow an earned run in 21 innings of work.
In the team's latest outing, the Ramblers defeated Cascade, 11-4, in Tuesday's (June 2) EIHL action. Six different Ramblers pounded out two or more hits as part of a 15-hit attack. Dan Spain bumped his season average to .405 by going 3-for-5 with a pair of runs batted in. The offensive outburst was plenty of support for starting pitcher Nick Woltkamp (4-0). He tossed eight innings and scattered eight hits and three walks while striking out seven. He allowed four runs (three earned).
Woltkamp has also excelled with the bat. He's 19-for-41 (.452) with eight RBIs and seven stolen bases in his first 11 career games with Key West. Only Redman has a higher average among teammates. The Ramblers are hitting .319 and have already swiped 18 bases through the team's opening 13 games.
Key West was set to put its undefeated Prairie League mark on the line on Wednesday (June 3) with a road game at Bellevue. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.
