Minor league game recap -- Sept. 9

Carolina League playoffs (A)

Score: Potomac Nationals 5, Frederick Keys 4 (Box score)

Recap: Catcher Brian Ward was 1-for-3 with two RBIs, but the Keys were edged, 5-4, by Potomac at Harry Grove Stadium to even the Carolina League playoff series at one game apiece.

Ward batted .199 with two home runs and 30 RBIs in 83 games during the regular season. In the first two postseason contests, the 24-year-old catcher is 4-for-7 with a home run and six RBIs.

Frederick third baseman Billy Rowell and second baseman L.J. Hoes each contributed a double and a run scored, while designated hitter Miguel Abreu added an RBI and a run scored.

Keys starting pitcher Ryan O'Shea gave up four runs and six hits in five innings, and relief pitcher Nathan Nery (0-1) was charged with one run and three hits in 1 1/3 innings.

C'mon boys. I have it via some really good sources of mine (just call me Anita!) that if we lose this series, the Ravens will lose to the Jets.

Dunno why I think that way, since I don't really have any sources (then again, neither did Anita!), but I do, so what the heck; let's assume it's true.

This means that you fellas on the Keys have the fate of our entire fiefdom in your hands, and therefore really need to beat the Nats and the Colts, but since you are unlikely to be playing the Colts, beat the Nats.

It's only one loss so far. Lots of time to go. Hang in there and remember how you made it here in the first place, The Baltimore fans as well as the Baltimore Ravens thank you.

Good luck!

About the bloggers

A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer. If you want more of his insight on the Orioles and other sports issues, check out his personal blog -- The Schmuck Stops Here.
