Cardinal Lumber coach Ryan Jensen said defensively, the day was “terrible.”
“We didn’t help Brennan out at all,” he said. “They kept hitting ground balls, and we kept kicking it around. They scored three in the first with only (one) ball being hit out of the infield. You can’t win at any level like that.”
Cardinal Lumber committed five errors in the contest.
Offensively, things weren’t much better as Patterson was limited to just two hits.
“Offensively, we never made an adjustment to their pitcher,” Jensen said. “He threw a ton of off-speed stuff, and we just kept popping it up. We haven’t been able to practice much with the weather, and it showed. That’s not an excuse for our mistakes, though.”
Bryce Beaubouef led Patterson with a 1-for-3 performance with a triple, while Gouaux and John Brooks each recorded RBIs in the win. Jamey Fabre had the team’s other hit as he finished 1-for-3.
