COLONIALS FALL IN EXTRA INNINGS, CAPS IN BIG TROUBLE

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team fell in extra innings last night a Prince George 10-8.  In a game were Prince George jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 4 innings the Colonial fought back pushing 7 runs across the plate in the 5th inning to take a 7-3 lead.  However Prince George wouldn't go quietly getting 1 run in the bottom of the 5th inning and getting 4 more in the bottom of the 6th inning to take a 8-7 lead.  The Colonials were able to tie the game in the top of the 7th at 8-8 only to lose the game on 2 run HR in the bottom of the 8th and I have to say that the loss was a pretty tough one take.  The Colonials will be back in action tomorrow night at home against Matoaca.  The Virginia baseball team came to Richmond last night to face the VCU Rams and came away with a 14-3 win over the Rams, next up for the Cavs is a 3 game series with Miami at home this weekend. The Washington Capitals are in big trouble right now after falling last night to Tampa Bay 4-3 and are now down 3-0 in the series and I just don't see the Caps coming back in winning this series.  MICKEY
