  The Patten University Lions (0-6) open up the tournament against perennial #1 ranked NAIA Lewis and Clark State University (0-1) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. gametime at Harris Field (Lewiston, ID). 

   The LCSC Warriors are coming off a loss against Concordia University (Portland, OR) where they fell 5-4 in their first game of the 2009 campaign. So the Warriors will be hungry for a win against a winless Lions team also looking for their first victory.

   Taking the ball for the Patten Lions will be sophomore right-hander Larry Collins (0-2, 10.00 E.R.A) who will be making his third start of the season. Collins looks to set the tones for the Lions in this big first game of the tournament against a highly-caliber team.

   Projected Lineup:

1 Jeremy Wells 2B/SR.

2 Anthony Phillips CF/JR.

3 Max Burnett C/JR.

4 Ryan Davis RF/JR.

5 Brian Peat DH/JR.

6 Chris Brigham 1B/SR.

7 Deandre Walker 3B/SR.

8 Luke Heil LF/JR.

9 Brett Korporal SS/SR.
