Anna Bright and Kate Fahey refused to hit a single ball to the world's best player, and the tactic carried the Shock to a 3-0 sweep of the 5s and their first-ever Mid-Season Tournament crown — pulling St. Louis into a first-place tie with New Jersey at 93 points.
Both top seeds rolled through Saturday's semifinals at the Edward Jones MLP Mid-Season Tournament, setting up a third New Jersey-St. Louis meeting of the season for Sunday's title.
After Zane Navratil's YouTube video questioned whether Hayden Patriquin was dragging down the St. Louis Shock, Patriquin texted three sentences back — then posted a perfect week and helped engineer an 11-3 dismantling of Ben Johns.
After Zane Navratil publicly questioned Patriquin's Columbus showing, Hayden texted back asking for the smoke — then went 10-0 and took it to Ben Johns in men's doubles.
After Zane Navratil says he laid into Hayden’s Columbus showing, Hayden’s response was not exactly a notes-app apology: “I needed some [ __ ] fire.” Then, per Navratil, he showed up and went 10-0.
