| Patino Blasts 3 into Bleachers Saturday, June 25th , 2044 Ridgely Wolverines bombardier Jonathan Patino set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Hornsby Bend Biscuits, 9-7.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Patino told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Ridgely right fielder had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6, and scored 3 runs.
Jonathan Patino flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Ray Gillingham in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Branden DuMont in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Chris Flanagan in the 7th.
This year, Patino has socked 7 hits in 23 at-bats for a .304 average with 3 home runs. He is getting on base at a .333 pace and his totals also include 7 RBIs and 6 runs scored. | | |
