Keiser Highlights

• Keiser had eight hits in the opening game with Karsten Sherman having a two-hit day at the plate.
• Taylor Blatch took a no-decision after throwing eight strong innings with three strikeouts. Chris Graffeo worked a scoreless ninth to earn his second win of the season.

Turning Point

How it Happened

• Webber scored a run in the first and third innings with two-outs to lead 2-0.
• The Seahawks were held hitless through three innings until Justin Lara laced a leadoff single up the middle.
• Keiser again went hitless over the next three innings before Marco Rivera and Sherman connected on one-out singles. Carlos Lopez plated the first run with an RBI groundout to short, trailing 2-1.
• In the eighth with runners on the corners and two-away, Peter Crocitto came up with a huge RBI single to center, tying the game at 2-2.
• Sherman smashed a leadoff, full-count single up the middle and pinch runner Kyle Oliver moved to third on a first-pitch single down the left field line by Lopez. Fitzpatrick then drew a walk to load the bases and Pena won it with a sacrifice fly to right.
