Eclipsing sdB+dM stars are very rare, with only seven systems known and only one with a pulsating primary. Pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries are especially important since they permit masses derived from seismological model fits to be cross-checked with orbital mass constraints. We present a first analysis of this star based on the Kepler 9.7-d commissioning light curve and extensive ground-based photometry and spectroscopy that allow us to set useful bounds on the system parameters. We derive a radial-velocity amplitude K-1 = 65.7 +/- 0.6 km s(-1), inclination angle i = 69 degrees.45 +/- 0 degrees.20, and find that the masses of the components are M-1 = 0.48 +/- 0.03 M-circle dot and M-2 = 0.12 +/- 0.01 M-circle dot
