COLONIALS BACK AT HOME TONIGHT AND TOMORROW

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team will be at home tonight against Thomas Dale at 6pm and tomorrow night against J.R. Tucker at 7pm weather permitting.  It seems like every time we have a game there is a pretty good chance of rain, hopefully the heavy rain will miss us and we will be able to get the game in.  Also note the time change for tomorrows game  which is 7pm instead of 6pm.  The Virginia baseball team will be back in action today as well against Georgetown and tomorrow against Coastal Carolina.  The pollen around are has been pretty bad the last few days and my allergies have really been acting up because of it, that would be one thing that the rain would help.  MICKEY
