Key West (12-3) poured it on with six second-inning runs and cruised to an 8-1, five-inning win over Dyersville in the first round of the Farley Tournament on Saturday. The Ramblers are looking to repeat Farley Tournament titles from 2011 and 2014. Key West has advanced to Wednesday's (June 10) 8:30 p.m. quarterfinal game against Bellevue.
Right fielder Anthony Ruden delivered a two-run single and Luis Ravelo added an RBI single during the outburst in the second frame. Ruden 2-for-4 at the top of the lineup, backing another dominant outing from ace hurler Andrew Redman. The Clarke University standout struck out the final seven hitters he faced as part of scoreless and hitless three innings of work.
In 24 innings this season, Redman has yet to allow an earned run. He has surrendered just six hits and six walks and has struck out 49 hitters. He's also hitting .522 (12-for-23) from the middle of the Rambler lineup.
Ravelo tacked on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Key West then added the game abruptly in the bottom of the fifth when Dan Spain's fly to center was misplayed, sending home a tally that enacted the tournament's run rule.
The Ramblers are now 7-1 in 2015 tournament action. They won the EIHL preseason tournament and triumphed in the consolation game of the Bellevue Tournament.
