The game just two days after a 17-0 run-rule victory in five innings against the Tigers in which Patterson scored in every inning.
“I was not happy with the way we played through the early innings of the game,” Patterson head coach Ryan Jensen said of Thursday’s contest. “I thought we just went through the motions and expected to breeze through (because) of what happened Tuesday. Thankfully, we got it together in the (fourth) and put the game away in the (fifth).”
