Umpires: HP: Matt Bates. 1B: Zach Tieche.

Weather: 84 degrees, sunny.

Wind: 12 mph, Out to LF.

T: 3:17.

Att: 6,794.

 

Section 101, Row A, Seat 5 – very front row, directly behind home plate

 

Highlights – Keys scored in each of the first 4 innings, starting with a first-inning HR  by rehabbing Orioles’ catcher Caleb Joseph … after Lynchburg took a brief 5-4 lead with 3 in the top of the 4^th, Frederick responded with 3 in the bottom of the frame, with the key hit being a two-out, two-run single by Wynston Sawyer … Trevor Belicek got the win for the Keys with 4 innings of scoreless relief

 

Other – neither starting pitcher survived the fourth, as Lucas Long gave up 9 Lynchburg hits in his 3+ innings of work, while Hillcats starter Mitch Brown had only a nodding acquaintance with the strike zone, walking 4 batters, hitting one, and coughing up 2 wild pitches … missed most of the first inning due to long lines for Will-Call and to actually get into the stadium (took the back way up due to serious slowdowns on northbound 270 and didn’t arrive until 1:50) … traffic back to Rockville on 270 was slow most of the way … Keys led the Carolina League in average attendance even before today’s large Father’s Day crowd
