COLONIALS PICK UP A BIG VICTORY





The CH Colonials baseball team picked up a big victory yesterday defeating a very good Matoaca Warriors team 7-3 in CD action yesterday. The Colonials offense was sparked by two 2 run HR's one by Jonathan Wells and the other by Kyle Mears, also Kenny Stoneback went 2-3 for the Colonials and had 2 RBI's. The Colonials had several big defensive plays in the game but the biggest was a play Andrew Holt made with the infield in knocking down a preventing a run from scoring and keeping the Warriors off the scoreboard that inning. Brett Draper and Nathan Anger did the job on the mound for the Colonials holding the Warriors to just three runs. In a heated discussion with the umpire the usually very calm Mickey Goulder was ejected from the game with 2 outs in the top of the 7th inning and I don't think I said anything that warranted me getting ejected because I was just stating the truth. The Colonials are now in a three way tie for first place in the CD with Matoaca and Dinwiddie at 5-1 in the CD. MICKEY

The usually very calm Mickey Goulder???

Well, I lost the pool on this one, I had Bill Reade as being the first to be tossed. Andrew believes Bopper should suspend Uncle Mickey for Thursday's game with the Knights or make him wear a TD hat.

I can't wait to see the pictures. I'm sure Al captured the moment of Mickey getting the heave-ho.

in the top of the 7th ,with 2 outs, matoaca had i man on 1st, the batter popped up to the shortstop for what appeared to be the last out of the game but the umpire called obstruction on the catcher!! the runner got 2nd base the hitter 1st. mickey totally disagreed with the call!!!
