A GOOD TO DAY FOR UVA SPORTS

Well Saturday was a good day for the Virginia Cavaliers on the hardwood and on the diamond. First the UVA basketball team beat Georgia Tech 75-69 and by doing so remained tied for 2nd place in the ACC with Virginia Tech who beat Miami yesterday, both teams are 1 game behind UNC who will play at Maryland tonight. Next up for the Cavaliers basketball team is a Thursday night showdown with Virginia Tech. The UVA baseball team swept a double header yesterday over the Bucknell Bison 3-0 and 13-2, next up for the Cavalier baseball team is game with VMI on Tuesday. Speaking of baseball I went over and saw the 1st game of a DH yesterday between the Virginia State Trojans and the Post University Eagles, the Trojans had two former Colonials playing for them Jeff Shelton and Andrew Holt. The Eagles won the game 4-3 in the top of the 7th and Jeff pitched all 7 innings for the Trojans and Andrew did have two hits in the game and 1 RBI, I didn't stay for the second game, I have posted the box score below for the game. They said it was going to rain all day here in CH but so far this morning it hasn't rained at all, the radar is showing some rain to the west of us though, hopefully it won't be to heavy when it comes threw. Matt Kenseth won the Busch Series race last night and Jeff Gordon will lead the field in the Nextel Cup Series race later today. I am feeling better but I am nowhere near 100%. MICKEY

POST VS VSU
