The Altavista Colonels are taking a road trip to face off against the Galileo Falcons at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Neither squad made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Altavista is probably headed into the matchup with a chip on their shoulder considering Dan River just ended the team's three-game winning streak on Wednesday. Neither they nor the Wildcats could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked Altavista's first draw of the season.
Meanwhile, Galileo fell victim to Nelson County and their airtight defense on Wednesday. They came up short against the Governors, falling 8-0. Galileo have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Galileo's defeat dropped their record down to 1-4-2. With that draw, Altavista's record moves to 3-5-1.
Altavista was able to grind out a solid win over Galileo in their previous meeting two weeks ago, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Colonels since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
