COLONIALS COME FROM BEHIND TO BEAT MATOACA





The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball erased a 5-2 deficit in the top of the 7th inning last night to defeat Matoaca 9-5. The Colonials scores 7 runs in the top of the 7th to pick 9-5 victory in CD action last night. Brett Draper went the distance on the mound last night just allowing 6 hits and the Colonial defense made several great defensive plays behind him in the field as well. Offensively Kenny Stoneback at had 3 hits for the Colonials and 3 Rbi's as well and Andrew Fontaine added two hits for the Colonials. I didn't get to see the end of the game from the dugout, I was ejected from the game in the bottom of the 6th inning after a disagreement with the umpire. I have to say the team played very inspired after I got ejected, but I was very frustrated over several calls that the umpires made that had costs us runs and I was mad. In other CD games yesterday Prince George beat Thomas Dale 12-2 and Hopewell beat Maedowbrook 5-2. The CH girls soccer team won 6-2 while the boys team fell 4-0 to Matoaca and the girls softball team lost 12-9 to Matoaca. The UVA baseball team opens a three game series tonight at Clemson, the Tigers are ranked 13 in the country. The Nascar Nextel Cup series is at Phoenix this weekend. Also on Saturday Andrews LL team will be back in action 12 noon at Ironbridge. My AIP index today is quite lower today because of our win lat night. MICKEY

i figure your api was low because you vented all that frustration out on the umpire!

Brett did a great job pitching - particularly in the bottom of the seventh - cool head that Brett!

Yeah Lee for hitting in the game winning run(s) - didn't know he could run that fast!

Andrew's team lost last night 13-5. Maureen said, there was only 3 hits in the game (that includes both teams). The rest were all walks.

So, this season could be painful to watch.

Andrew had one plate appearance and was called out looking @ strike 3. I told him he should be swinging w/ two strikes,so the next time he'll probably swing @ something over his head.
