What a difference a day makes...yesterday 88, today 48 with a 25 mph wind. It was cold for sure. SLC faced Monterrey HS from Lubbock, TX. It was a back and forth game until the 6th inning when the Dragons blew the game open with a 6 run 6th inning. After a 1,2,3 7th inning the Dragons claimed a 11-4 win.
Patrick started and played the entire game at shortstop. He made several good plays in the field and made his first error of the year. It was a tough error, a bad bounce on a grounder that he knocked down, but was unable to throw the runner out. At the plate, he reached on an error with a similar hard grounder to short that took a bad hop. In his next at bat the game was tied and SLC had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Patrick put down a great sac bunt to move the runners to 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Unfortunately the next two guys struck out and the runners were stranded. He K'd in his last at bat.
So the tournament is over and the Dragons finished a disappointing 2-2-1 in the 5 games. Patrick played 24 of the 36 innings at shortstop and with at least 20 chances in the field made only the one error. For the tournament Patrick got 11 at bats, with 2 hits, 3 RBIs, 1 walk, 1 sacrifice, 1 reach on error, and 2 strike outs.

I'll be in Dallas to see Patrick play in the game at home against Hebron, April 3, and I will also be able to see him play against Lewisville on April 7. I've very excited and looking foward to seeing the entire family.
