The Patriots varsity baseball team had a good showing at the JF Webb Easter Tournament this weekend.  They started the tournament with a resounding 15-2 win versus Granville Central.  They were shutout 12-0 by Kerr-Vance Academy, the eventual tournament champions.  This positioned them to play in the third place game.  This game was a battle - eventually losing to a Division 3 team, Northern Vance 7-8.  Northern led 6-2 at one point, only to have the Patriots battle back and tie the game 7-7 on a bases loaded double by Robert Driver.  Northern scored in the 6th to take the lead that would hold.  

Although all the Patriots had a great tournament, three were selected to the All-Tournament team.  

-Trevor Rohrs - Rohrs got his first start as a pitcher and pitched a complete game in the 15-2 win over Granville Central.  He pitched 7 innings, allowing only one earned run and only four hits, striking out 6.  He also has 5 hits in 9 at bats over the 3 games.  

-Lucas Wier - Wier was selected for his incredible defense at second base, making multiple ESPN worthy plays. He also reached base 5 times in the 3 games, stealing 6 bases, continuing to stay on fire.  

-Robert Driver -Driver got the call in game 3 and pitched a complete game.  On top of hitting the bases loaded double to tie game 3, he had 2 doubles in the 3 games.  He pitched great in game 3, with only 5 of the runs earned.  

The Patriots are at home this Friday, April 1st, at 4pm at Flaherty Park versus Pilot Mill (Raleigh Charter).  Admission is FREE so come by after school.
