Led by the pitching of sophomore Harrison Barton and an all-around offensive effort, Key School (1-10, 1-9 MIAA C Conference) capturedbroke through for its first win of the season, an 11-1 win over Indian Creek, yesterday in Annapolis.
Barton struck out 11 and gave up one hit in the complete-game effort. He also scored three times and smacked a triple. Fellow sophomores Maris Beigel (2-for-2, 3 runs) and Chris Fusco had solo home runs in the decisive fifth inning while sophomore Conrad Karsten had his first two hits of the season and drove in a pair of runs. Anthony Fusco added a run-scoring single and senior Jake Wechsler doubled and scored twice.
Justin Bengel struck out six batters and hit a solo home run for Indian Creek.
This was Key’s first conference win in school history. This is the program’s second overall season and first in the MIAA C.
“It was nice to finally be on the other end,” Key coach James Peters said. “We did some good things today and Harrison just dominated on the mound.”
