Colt Classic Washed Out
3/25/07
Roswell, NM – The
final round of the NMMI-Sertoma Colt Classic was canceled due to
unplayable field conditions caused by Friday’s rain storms. Friday’s
games had been moved to Dexter due to flooding at NMMI Field.
In Dexter, Gateway
Christian bounced back from a 2-1 loss to St. Michael’s to beat Dexter
7-0. NMMI took a 5-3 lead into the top of the seventh inning when
Tularosa exploded for ten runs and eventually went on to win the game
13-7. St. Michael’s led Eunice 4-0 in the third inning before rain and
lightening halted the action. The final game of the day between Capitan
and Santa Rosa was later canceled.
The entire schedule
slated for Saturday had to be canceled after Friday evening’s rainstorms
soaked both the NMMI Field and the Dexter field. Crews from both NMMI
and Dexter worked tirelessly to get the field ready to play, but Mother
Nature would not permit.
New Mexico Military
Institute would like to thank the Roswell Sertoma Club for their role is
putting on this thirteenth annual tournament. They would also like to
extend their appreciation to all those in Dexter that worked so hard to
get as many games in as possible.
