salem red soxTurner Ashby High School grad Brenan Hanifee shut out the Salem Red Sox, 6-0, in the Frederick Keys’ first complete-game effort since 2013 Sunday afternoon at Nymeo Field.

Hanifee (6-9, 4.40 ERA) allowed four hits and didn’t walk a batter, striking out four.

Hanifee was a 2016 TA grad and 2016 fourth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles. In parts of three seasons in the O’s organization, he has a record of 21-18 with a 3.31 ERA.

A three-run homer from Zach Jarrett gave Frederick a 3-0 lead in the third inning. The Keys tacked on insurance in the fourth inning when Jomar Reyes stepped to the plate in a bases loaded situation, hitting into a force out that still permitted the lead runner and a 4-0 advantage.

Patrick Dorian blasted his first home run of the season, a two-run shot in the eighth inning.
