Colonial Forge 1, Albemarle 2  - Game 1

Colonial Forge 5, Massaponax 6           

Colonial Forge followed up their best performance of the season with another uninspired game, losing to Massaponax High School 6-5.  The Eagles defeated the Panthers 9-1 earlier in the season but struggled from start to finish in the district matchup.  Coming off of a 14-hit performance, the Eagles managed only three hits in the first six innings and finished with five hits in the game.  Ben Morgan had two of the five hits.  The Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead early in the game, taking advantage of sloppy play by the Panthers.  Yet, the Panthers battled back to tie the game in the 5^th inning.  At that point, starter Chase Boster was relieved by Morgan, who gave up a run in the bottom of the 6^th inning.  The Eagles rallied in the top of the 7^th inning, plating two runs to take the lead.  Again, sloppy play by Massaponax allowed Darin Sharpe and James Keller to score.  But in the bottom of the 7^th inning, Keller allowed the tying- and winning runs to score on bases-loaded walks.  With the loss, the Eagles fell to 5-7, already matching the most losses by any Colonial Forge JV team this decade, with eight games left to play.  It is also the third 1-run loss for the Eagles this season.             

Colonial Forge 9, North Stafford 5           

The JV Eagles bounced back from a terrible loss 4 days earlier with an impressive 9-5 victory over North Stafford in a district matchup.  After surrendering 14 runs to the Wolverines in the previous game, Colonial Forge shut down the North Stafford offense with solid defense and a great pitching performance from Cody Quick.  After allowing two hits and two runs in the opening frame, Quick gave up no hits and no runs until the 7^th inning.  The sophomore gave up three runs in the 7^th inning before James Keller came in and shut the door on the rally.  On the offensive side, The Eagles’ bats came alive with 14  hits – their most of the season.  Sean Baldwin led the attack with three hits, while Keller, Ben Morgan, Kyle Mikula, Chase Boster, and Luke Minicucci had 2 hits each.  Minicucci and Morgan combined for 6 RBIs while Mikula blasted the team’s first home run of the season.  

North Stafford 14, Colonial Forge 1                 

Colonial Forge suffered their worst loss in recent school history with a 14-1 drubbing at the hands of North Stafford.  Three Colonial Forge pitchers combined to allow 10 earned runs on 12 hits and 5 walks.  Offensively, The Eagles managed only three hits and only got 2 runners past 1^st base.  It was the third win for the Wolverines versus the Eagles in the four games, with a fifth game in the future.   

Colonial Forge 6, Spotsylvania 4           

The JV Eagles won the first game of a round-robin doubleheader with a lack-luster victory over Spotsylvania High School.  The Eagles struck out 10 times and left 10 men on base in a game that was close from start to finish.  The Eagles started off the game hot with three runs in the first inning; their most in the 1^st inning this season.  However, the Knights plated three runs in the bottom half of the frame.  After Colonial Forge went ahead 4-3 in the 3^rd inning, the Knights again tied the game with a run in the bottom of the 4^th inning.  The game stayed tied until Darin Sharpe gave the Eagles the lead with an RBI single in the top of the 7^th inning.  The Eagles added another run on a throwing error by Spotsylvania.  Cody Quick, who relieved starter Josh Orrick in the 3^rd inning, finished the game and picked up the victory.  Quick allowed only two hits and no earned runs over the last five innings of the contest.

Colonial Forge 9, Riverbend 10           

Colonial Forge took a 9-3 lead into the bottom of the 5^th inning before giving up seven unanswered runs to lose 10-9 to Riverbend High School.  The Eagles’ offense pounded out 11 hits and matched their biggest run-output of the season.  Sophomore James Keller led the hitting, going 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs.  It was the first 3-hit game by any Eagle this season. Steven Paugh, Kyle Mikula, and Chase Boster added two hits apiece.  Cody Quick gave Colonial Forge a solid effort on the mound, pitching 4 1/3 innings and giving up only 1 earned run.  But for the second game in a row, the Eagles’ defense gave up six unearned runs with poor fielding, and allowed the Bears to come back and steal victory away.    

Colonial Forge 1, Stafford 11           

For the first time in recent memory, the Colonial Forge JV team lost a game as a result of the ten-run rule.  In a sloppy-played game, the Eagles gave up six unearned runs and collected only four hits in the loss.  Kyle Mikula went 2 for 2 for the Eagles but the rest of the team managed only two hits.  Starting pitcher Chase Boster took the loss for the Eagles.  Boster threw four innings and gave up two earned runs. 

Colonial Forge 7, Mountain View 2           

In their sharpest game of the season, the Colonial Forge JV baseball team defeated Mountain View 7-2 and improved to 3-0 in the district.  Freshman Chase Boster struck out eight batters and scattered six hits over five innings.  Boster gave up only one earned run before giving way to Sean Baldwin in the sixth inning.  Baldwin pitched the final two innings, earning his first save of the season.  Both teams struggled to score runs throughout the contest, and the Eagles took a 3-2 lead into the 7^th inning before breaking the game open.  In the top of the last frame, Colonial Forge plated four runs with three hits and a couple of walks.  Overall, the Eagles pounded out 11 hits.  Lucas Behning, Steven Paugh, Luke Minicucci, and Ben Morgan had two hits each.  Darin Sharpe led the team with two RBIs.

North Stafford 0, Colonial Forge 2           

The JV Eagles picked up their first win of the season and avenged an earlier loss to North Stafford.  The game was a true pitchers’ duel with only seven total hits in the game.  Colonial Forge sophomore Cody Quick battled Wolverine pitcher Jeff Cieslewitz in a game that went scoreless into the sixth inning.  Though the Eagles’ hitters managed only three hits, they managed to plate two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning.  James Keller began the frame with a single over 2^nd base and Kyle Mikula followed with a walk.  After a groundout by Ben Morgan advanced the runners, Stephen Paugh drove in Keller for the game’s first run.  Paugh hit a groundball to the third baseman who threw home in a bang-bang play, with the umpire ruling Keller safe.  After a Sean Baldwin walk, Anthony Malocu drove in Mikula with an RBI groundout.  Staked with a 2-0 lead, Chase Boster relieved Quick in the 7^th inning and shut down the Wolverines to earn his first save and the Eagles’ first win.

Colonial Forge 4, North Stafford 6           

Colonial Forge began their season with back-to-back losses for the first time this decade after falling to North Stafford 6-4.  The Wolverines scored all six runs in the second inning off starter Sean Baldwin, who took the loss for the Eagles.  After Baldwin was chased from the game, reliever Chase Boster entered the game and shut down North Stafford.  Boster allowed only two hits and zero runs while striking out seven batters over the remaining 4 1/3 innings of the game.  Unfortunately the offense could not mount a comeback against North Stafford starter Stephen Buel, who threw a complete game.  Darin Sharpe and Kyle Mikula combined to go 6 for 8 with 3 doubles and 3 RBIs.  However the rest of the offense managed only 4 hits in 23 at bats and wasted many opportunities to score runs.   

Colonial Forge 5, Liberty 10           

The Colonial Forge Eagles opened their season with a disappointing loss to Liberty High School in Bealton, Virginia.  Coming off of a sluggish scrimmage performance, the JV Eagles carried their lethargic act into their first game.  Colonial Forge committed nine errors and managed only six hits in a 10-5 loss to the underdogs.  Though the Eagles’ pitchers allowed only one earned run, they gave up nine hits and six walks.  Sean Baldwin started the game and took the loss for the Eagles.  The offense was dominated throughout the game by the Liberty pitcher, not scoring a run until the 5^th inning of the contest.  Darin Sharpe had 3 RBIs for the Eagles and freshmen Chase Boster and Stephen Hansen had their first career hits.
