PATRIOT NATION . . . Our boys played a great game last night, battering Sammamish 10-3 in the King-Co 3A League Playoffs, under a star capped sky at Bannerwood Park.  John McLeod sputtered early on the mound but settled down to earn his eighth win of the season.  Kyle Arbaugh came up big on offense going 2-2 with 2 RBI and scoring 3 runs.  Troy Colyer hit the ball hard all over the yard going 3-4.  Cameron Talley put in another solid performance behind the plate, including a tag out on an unsuccessful squeeze play.  Our defense played a solid game including a catch going toward the line by leftfielder Brian Kim.  The victory earned our Patriots the privilege of playing in the league championship game, Saturday, May 17th against Bellevue High School.  The championship game starts at 1PM at Bannerwood Park.  Hope to see you on the diamond!
