Patrick retired all 21 batters he faced in the seven-inning affair, retiring 16 batters via strikeout. He struck out at least one batter in every inning, striking out the side in the third.
Only one B.C. hitter managed to send a ball into the outfield all game, flying out to right field in the second inning.
