Keyser had six hits, with Katelyn Ray and Alicia Cuthbertson getting a double and single each.
Savannah Hose tripled for Frankfort.
Keyser took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Cuthbertson singled, stole second, went to third on an overthrow, and scored on an overthrow of third.
Frankfort knotted it in the sixth when Hose smacked a leadoff triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Taylor Rice.
After a scoreless seventh, Anderson ripped a double to left-center with two out in the bottom of the eighth. Haggerty followed with a double to right-center to score Anderson and end the game.
Frankfort pitchers Rice, who worked the first seven innings, and Kristi Salonish, had six strikeouts and two walks.
