BASEBALL GAME MOVED TILL TONIGHT, RICHMOND & VCU PLAY TONIGHT

Well our baseball game with Hopewell was rained out last night and will be played at Hopewell tonight at 6pm and I have to say if you are coming to the game it is going to be a bit on the cool side.  The Virginia baseball team opens up a 3 game series with Maryland at home today and with the chance of rain this weekend the schedule could be altered a bit to where a doubleheader my be played 1 day.  The Richmond Spiders and the VCU Rams will be looking to move on to the Elite 8 with a win tonight, the Spiders will face the Kansas Jayhawks while the Rams will face the Florida State Seminoles.  Last might in the NCAA Tournament the Duke Blue Devils where knocked off by the Arizona Wildcats 93-77 sending all the Dukies home upset.  Also moving on last night was Florida, Butler and UCONN.  The Nascar Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series will be racing at the California Speedway this weekend in Fontana.  MICKEY

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. Guillaume Apollinaire
