Patrick Henry extended their losing streak to three on Saturday, dropping their season record down to 7-11 in the process. They fell 5-0 to the Napoleon Wildcats. The shutout was out of character for the Patriots seeing as the last time the team failed to score was back in April.
As for Napoleon, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games.
For Napoleon's part, not much got past Trey Rubinstein, who gave up just three hits and racked up ten Ks to keep Patrick Henry off the board. Rubinstein has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Paul Sausser, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Parker Woods, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and two RBI.
