                     (ANGIE, RYAN, JEANNE, LUKE, MIKE, GRACE, ABBY & PAT ILLIES)

ELROSA--Pat and the late Duane Illies were inducted into the Elrosa Saints Hall of Fame on Friday night. Duane played ball for the Saints for a number of years and was instrumental into building the Little League program. Duane coached the youth teams that Mike and Pat played on for over 14 years and helped establish the roots of the program. 

Pat played for almost 30 years and holds just about every offensive statistical record possible. He rewrote the Elrosa franchise record book which includes the following: . 544 average, 1.241 slugging percentage, .640 on base percentage, 433 hits, 96 doubles, 20 triples, 66 home runs, 316 runs, 361 RBIs, 115 steals, 193 walks, and 225 games won in 17 years as a manager including 7 State tournament trips. What is even more impressvie is that Pat leads just about every statistical category but is still missing 7 years of stats that were lost over the years. 

Congratulations to Duane & Pat and welcome to the Hall of Fame!
