Different state, same great success rate.
South Whidbey High School grad Charlie Patterson is chucking a baseball in Nebraska these days, and he’s still got wicked good stuff.
The former Falcon, who began his college hardball career with a two-year run at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon, now reps Bellevue University.
The Bruins are an NAIA school playing in the North Star Athletic Association, and it was that league which honored Patterson Monday afternoon.
The NSAA tabbed him as its Pitcher of the Week, based on his performance in a 5-0 win over Mayville.
Patterson scattered three hits over seven innings, whiffing five while only allowing a single batter to make it as far as third base on the day.
The Bellevue pitcher is a pristine 4-0 this campaign, with an ERA of 3.22.
Patterson has made seven appearances for the Bruins, six of them starts, while striking out 45 hitters across 36.1 innings.
During his days at SWHS, Patterson was a standout athlete, playing football, basketball, and baseball for the Falcons.
