Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

The Cobalts Advanced to the CRC City Championship Finals last night with a good win over the always tough Stogies. Mikey Taylor was forced into an Emergency Start and kept the Stogies scoreless thru 2 innings of work. The Cobalts then struck with a couple of runs using an old favorite, the Suicicide Squeeze (much to Stogie coach Doug Gundrum's delight). The Squeeze was executed perfectly by Samurai Akers who fended off the forehead aimed fastball laying down a perfect bunt. From there, the Cobalts gave the pill to Keith Becker who didn't get loose for a couple of innings (it must have been the pants) but kept the Stogies to 3 un-earned runs for the Victory. The entire line-up contributed from top to bottom. Tom Taylor was 2-4 with a big RBI double that put the Cobalts ahead for good. The Win puts the Cobalts in the City Finals with the Cheviot Patriots in a Best 2 Out of 3 Championship. It could be all decided tonight with a double-header beginning at 6:30 at Roselawn.
