PHCC To Host Softball
Tournament
Patrick Henry Community College will be hosting the 2011 NJCAA Region
X Division 2 Softball Tournament at Martin Field. This will be the
first ever Division II Softball Tournament in Region X and we are very
proud to be the host site. The tournament dates are set for May
6th-8th , with the banquet for all teams is set for the 5th. This past
year’s baseball tournament was a huge success and brought a lot of
great business and exposure to the Martinsville/Henry County Area as
well as to PHCC. We hope this tournament will do the same for the
local economy and the surrounding areas. |

The 2010 class of baseball players at Patrick Henry Community College

Fluvanna County. Bret Williams has accepted an 80% offer from the
University of Richmond to continue his athletic and academic career.
Williams was a 2nd team all Region selection this year and will be
looked to continue his career as a two way player. Williams received
the highest scholarship offer given from Head Coach Mark McQueen since
his time at Richmond.
Lucas Signor, an Outfielder from Lynchburg, VA has committed to play
at Division 1 Niagara next season, while Austin Delmotte also made a
full ride commitment to Niagara but has not signed due to some
uncertainties off the field. In addition, Mike Stancik a transfer from

invited workout with the Washington Nationals and hopes to be taken in
the 2010 Major League Baseball draft. Also making the trip to Atlanta
last weekend was Patriots’ pitcher Jeremy Fitzgerald, who is expected
to go in the first day of the MLB draft.
“Overall, this is a great class of student-athletes and they are
amazing baseball players said former Head Coach Chris Parker.” “It has
been a privilege coaching these guys. Our staff worked very hard to
see their careers move forward.” “We graduated 75% of our sophomore
class this year, which is a great accomplishment in itself.” |

Patriots
Bats Go Silent in Tournament
After a 40-15 overall record and a 18-8 Region X third place finish
there were certainly high expectations for the Patrick Henry Baseball
team in the Region X/District 22 tournament held this past week at
Hooker Field, but as with any team and any season there are hot
streaks and cold streaks. Unfortunately for the Patriots the cold
streak from the last two weeks of the regular season carried over to
the tournament where they dropped a 4-2 decision to Wilkes C.C. in the
first round and a 7-1 decision to Southeastern in the loser's bracket
and were eliminated after just two games.
The Patriots managed just four hits in the 4-2 loss to Wilkes on
Friday afternoon. The number five seed Wilkes banged out 10 hits and
got 7 1/3 innings of strong work from Ethan Icard on the mound to beat
the Patriots for the third time in four meetings this season. Mike
Stancik had two hits and an RBI for PHCC in the loss. Jeremy
Fitzgerald took the loss on the mound allowing three runs and eight
hits in 5 2/3 innings on the mound.
Southeastern took advantage of four PHCC errors and took a commanding
6-0 lead after a five run fourth inning to claim the 7-1 win in
Saturday's loser's bracket match up. Despite sweeping a three game
series from the Rams in the regular season the Patriots bats again
were silenced, this time by Peyton Martin who pitched a complete game
allowing just one run on seven hits. Matt Morris took the loss for
Patrick Henry despite not allowing an earned run in 3 2/3 innings. The
freshman righty allowed just three hits and walked two while striking
out five. Chris Horne and Brandon Chocklette worked a combined 5 1/3
innings of relief and kept the Rams bats silent allowing just one run
but the Patriots couldn't produce at the plate and saw their season
end much more quickly than expected, finishing the season at 40-17
overall. |
