Game Notes: Tuesday's game pitted Halifax County vs. Patrick Henry in a battle for first place in the Western Valley. With what began as a rain and dreary day, it turned out to be a nice afternoon for baseball. Patrick Henry began the scoring with a 1-0 lead after one complete. Sophomore Zach Whitaker began the game with a 4 pitch and 11 pitch inning and seemed to be handling the Comet hitters with easy. Halifax was able to push one across in their half of the third to knot the score a 1 each. Early on, the Patriots left to many runners on and had some unlucky hops from the baseball. "We took advantage of the their starter and were patient at the plate. We were able to get him in the stretch and it was working. Steffe grounded into the DP and that really shifted the momentum to their side of the field." said Head Coach Aaron Haigler. In the first three innings, PH left 8 guys on base with 6 in scoring position. In the forth, Halifax took advantage of costly errors and were able to expand the lead. Not to be outdone, the Patriots rallied back to within a single run. The 5th inning seemed to be the undoing of Patrick Henry. "We cannot allow teams to have extra outs. Halifax hits very well and they capitalized on our mistakes." added Haigler. After 5 complete, the Comets had a commanding lead of 12-6. The score would remain until the end of the game. Offensively for Patrick Henry, they were lead by Junior Brad Sowers who was 2-3 with 2 doubles, 2 RS and 2 RBIs. As has become the norm, Senior 2B Gary Fitzgerald continued his HBP streak by taking a pitch in the leg. With the loss to Halifax, Patrick Henry falls to 3-1 in the WVD and 5-7 overall.

The Patriots will not be back in action until Saturday, April 25 as Bassett travels up 220 to Edwards Field. The William Fleming game slated for Thursday has been postponed due to a school trip at William Fleming. The game has been rescheduled for May 7. Location is not yet determined.
