Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

The vastly improved Florence Freedom of the Frontier Professional League showed off an impressive pitching staff in shutting down the CoBALTS wood bats on Friday night. In what was basically a 6-0 game after 9 innings, with the CoBALTS managing just one hit with the wood bats (a double in the first by Tom Taylor). The flame throwing staff of the Freedom were helped by excellent defense in the field robbing several CoBALTS of extra base hits. Keith Becker (3 innings, no runs, 1 hit) showed again that he can compete against the best at age 30 and Shannon Morgan went 5 giving up just 3 earned runs. Great work against a line-up of strong studs all under age 24. The CoBALTS would like to thank the Staff of the Freedom for inviting the 'Balts to their impressive new stadium for the exhibition. (Q is still "the man"). All baseball fans should get down to Florence to see the vastly improved team and facility. Best of luck to the Freedom.
