COLONIALS FALL TO MATOACA 6-3

The Colonial Heights Colonials played a much better game last night at Matoaca bust still came out on the short end of a 6-3 score. We just didn't hit to well when we had runners in scoring position and Matoaca made the most of there opportunities, Daniel Falls went 3-5 for the Colonials and made very nice catch for the Colonials in a losing effort. The CH softball team lost 4-2 and the boys soccer team fell 4-0 and the girls soccer team played to a 2-2 tie with Matoaca. The New York Rangers blew a 3-0 lead in game 1 of there best of 7 series with the Penguins and lost 5-4, the Penguins might just have to much offense for the Rangers to stop. Andrews LL team will be back in action today Noon at Ironbridge Park on field #4 and they will be playing the Cubs. They will qualify this morning for Sundays Sprint Cup race at Talladega, maybe JR can break his losing streak this weekend. MICKEY
