The Denver Browns Baseball Club of the Denver NABA took on the Colorado Rollin' Rockies in a game of wheelchair softball at Coors Field Parking Complex on Wednesday, August 1, 2007. The game proved to be the biggest challenge yet for the Rollin' Rockies playing a competive baseball team such as the Browns. The game will prepare Rollin' Rockies for the Nebraska Barons Wheelchair Softball Invitational this weekend - August 4 and 5th.

"As Colorado's only wheelchair softball team, playing able-bodied softball teams is the only way we can get game experience," says Rollin' Rockies manager Ron Bolseth. "While the game does not count for us, it was a great experience for the Browns to compete on our level (in wheelchairs)." He added. The Rollin' Rockies went on to win 13-2 in a friendly yet competitive game. Currently, the Rollin' Rockies have outscored their able-bodied opponents 60-4 in the three games they've played so far.

The Rollin' Rockies will travel to Omaha this weekend in preparation for the National Wheelchair Softball Tournament to be contested in St. Paul, Minnesota later this month. The Rockies are currently ranked 9th in the nation of the 47 wheelchair softball teams that make up the National Wheelchair Softball Association.
