RP went into Saturday's game with a .381 batting average and left the game with a .396 average after his 5-5 performance. I really hope that he sees all this hard work payoff in the postseason and with a good MLB contract. I still can't believe he wasn't even drafted last year. He's definitely making a name for himself in college baseball this year. Great job Ryan and good luck!
I'm damn glad he wasn't drafted last year, especially high. I bet he is too, it motivated him to work on a lot of things in his game and has paid off for him and LSU. That "take this" homerun he hit yesterday after seeing the blast from Iorg was incredible, pretty much matching Iorg's blast.
ryans not only a dominating player, but a great guy...he is one of the most friendly guys that you'll ever meet...i wish him the best luck in the future:tigbas:
Ryan patterson had a great game saturday but im suprised no one mentioned what he accomplished Sunday. He moved into a 5th place tie on the LSU career home run list with Albert Belle. Ryan's batting average is up to .397 with 20 doubles 2 triples, 19 homers, and 49 RBIs. Clay Harris' 4-5 performance Saturday kinda flew in under the radar due to Ryans 5-5 day. Its to bad LSU cant put up these numbers on Friday night we wouldnt have to worry about Lane's pitching woes. This would be a fine week to get that undercontrol im sure they will get it done with Ryan and Clay along with Nick leading the way.
