For the first four innings we had a tight game with Colonnade.  Then our bats went cold and we could not keep pace with the strong hitting Colonnade team.  Still, we had some good individual performances with Kary Kuhlman went 3 for 4 batting, Don Cole was 4 for 4,  and Glenn Turner was 3 for 4.  Glenn made some outstanding defensive stops at short stop while Jocelyne George was a super-sub at outfield that stopped numerous hard hit balls.  Thanks to everyone for a fun day at the ballpark.  We will continue to improve.  Thanks to Susie Tornes for keeping our scorebook for us.
