Bear Creek came up short on Tuesday despite Jamin Patterson delivering his best game to date. Patterson turned in nothing short of a gem: he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over 7.2 innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Patterson and Bear Creek will head out on the road to face off against Ralston Valley at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Patterson has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 1.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Ralston Valley has only allowed 4.07 per game this season.
