Two solid pitching performances and a home run by Andrew Redman in both ends of a home-away doubleheader on Sunday helped push the Key West Ramblers to two league victories. In an afternoon affair, Key West topped Zwingle, 3-1, in Peosta. The Ramblers (35-14) then traveled to Monticello and won by a 4-2 decision.
Redman has been on an incredible tear at the plate. With a solo homer in the third inning of the win over Zwingle, Redman equaled Chris Briggs' team single-season record of 11 home runs, set back in 2012. Redman then broke the record with another solo shot that sealed the victory over Monticello. Redman has hit seven of his 12 home runs over the past seven games, a 6-1 stretch for the Ramblers.
On the mound, Tom Casey and Lake Rosson both tossed complete games, allowing just a combined six hits over 14 innings. Casey did not surrender a single earned run to Zwingle, which managed only two hits. Rosson limited the damage to two runs on five walks and four hits in his own seven-inning effort.
It was a nice day out of the No. 7 spot in the lineup for Matt Stevens, who went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base. He's raised his season average to .253 with a recent hot streak. Additionally, Ben Oglesby went 2-for-4 in the second game of the day.
Key West was scheduled to return to action on Monday (Aug. 7) and host Holy Cross in a league game. First pitch was slated for 7 p.m.
