The Virginia baseball team beat William & Mary yesterday 9-1 in Charlottesville, today the Cavs will make the trip over to Harrisonburg to face James Madison. The VCU Rams basketball team won it's game last night in the College Basketball Invitational over George Washington 79-73, the Rams will be at home in the 2nd round of the CBI against a yet to be determined opponent. I have to say my arm is a bit sore this morning, I have thrown allot of pitches in the cage the last two days. I am hoping that the warm temps today will allow my arm to feel better and I will be able to throw again today. There was one Central District baseball team in action yesterday, Dinwiddie knocked off Monacan 5-2. The weather continues to look good for out opening game Friday at Varina, the high Friday will be in the low 70's. MICKEY
