Frederick beat Kinston 3-2 to tie the Series at a game apiece. Frederick took an early 1-0 lead courtesy Manny Machado and Aaron Baker. Kinston battled back to tie it in the 4th and went ahead in the 7th, but a little sound fundamental baseball in the bottom of the 8th and 2 out clutchiness resulted in 2 runs for the Keys, and then Sean Gleason shut the door. Machado went 2-3 with a walk. Baker went 2-4 with a double and a K. Glynn Davis went 0-3 with 2 Ks. Brian Ward, an org catcher type, continued his fine work driving in the game winner tonight. The series shifts to Kinston for games 3-5 if necessary.
