Andrew Redman turned in another masterful outing on the mound while leading the Key West Ramblers to a season high eighth victory in a row. The latest win came by a 4-0 decision over Bellevue in Saturday's Rickardsville Tournament quarterfinal action. Winner of the Farley Tournament, The Ramblers (25-10) are aiming for their second tournament championship of 2017.
After allowing a fourth-inning single, Redman went on to retire the final 10 Bellevue hitters he faced. Now 6-0 with a 0.96 ERA over 47 innings this season, Redman allowed five hits and did not walk a single batter on Saturday. He recorded seven strikeouts while notching his sixth complete game of the year.
At the plate, Redman doubled and then was on board for Chris Briggs' two-run homer in the first. The Ramblers tacked on with two more insurance runs in the fourth to provide plenty of support for their ace hurler. Brett LaMere went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored out of the No. 5 spot in the lineup. Six Key West hitters collected at least one hit while going up against Bellevue pitcher Dave Smith.
The Ramblers were fresh off blowout victories over Farley, 14-0 (July 18), and Holy Cross, 18-4 (July 20). Redman homered and Lake Rosson registered four hits in the win over Holy Cross. In the Farley win, Nick Woltkamp routinely pitched out of trouble in an 11-hit shutout. Briggs also homered in that contest.
Key West is scheduled to play again today (July 23) at 6:30 p.m. in the semifinals at Rickardsville. The Ramblers will take on Farley. The other side of the bracket features host Rickardsville versus Peosta.
