Lake Buena Vista, FL - Despite solid pitching, John Carroll dropped a decision to Providence Day School (NC) at 11:30 AM on
Saturday. Early-season errors plagued the Patriots for one inning, which was enough to keep the team out of the win column.

Saturday started with a batting tunnel session and extra hitting practice. The Patriots hit the field again at 5PM to face Episcopal High School of Alexandria, VA.
