COLERIDGE - Coleridge split a pair of ball games this past week as they dropped a close contest to Orchard Thursday evening by a score of 3 to 1 and then won 16 to 7 from Plainview Sunday night.
Kendall Smith went the distance against Orchard in a losing effort but lost the game on unearned runs. Sylvan Olsen scored the only Coleridge run in the opening inning and never seriously threatened to score against Heese and Mitties.
