Derek Patton put up the most runs he's had since back in April on Saturday. He scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4. He is becoming a predictor of Payton College Prep's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 8-1 (and 6-17 when he doesn't).

Looking ahead, Patton and Payton College Prep are taking a road trip to square off against Saint Ignatius College Prep at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Grizzlies got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wolfpack thanks in part to Patton: he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
