Pat O'Connor broke his thumb while sliding into a base in an OYA Pony League game. This is most unfortunate as Pat was off to a great start with the Warriors. He has achieved a spot on the team's leaderboard for both batting average and on-base percentage. And, his three triples are just two short of an all-time Warriors' season record of five.
It's possible that Pat could be out for up to six weeks. Hopefully, he'll be able to return to the team much sooner than that. During his recovery, Pat is encouraged to continue to participate in team events. In the meantime, the Warriors will consider adding a player to its roster during this upcoming week. This new player would be an alternate and would only be activated as needed to replace injured or otherwise deactivated players.
