Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

After working their butts off to gain a #3 Seeding going into the World Series Playoffs, the Cobalts were sent packing early thanks to a back-of-the-envelope managed bracket...that wasn't completed until Wednesday evening!!!

The fact the Cobalts' bats went stone cold is besides the point. You'd think a #3 Seed should at least get to play into Friday...Instead, we experience "Black Thursday" that went like this:

GAME #1 vs. Akron A's (defending Champs):

They throw their Ace Righty, we get all of 2 hits, Dave Prosser throws a 4 hitter, we lose 2-0.

Game #2 vs Jet Box (NABF Champs and #1 Seed):

Our second game of the day (while the #6 Seed gets to go home and rest up for Friday), Shannon Morgan battles in a GREAT effort taking it into the 10th inning tied at 2-2 until Jet Box scores and we lose 3-2. Jet Box goes on to win this year's Roy Hobbs title.

So...Cobalts pack their gear and go home. Despite guys taking vacation and time away from wives and kids to play ball for a week!

I apologize to those guys and thank them for making the sacrifice to come all the way to Ft. Myers.

On a better note - congrats to the Cincinnati Sting who plowed thru the Doodle Pad Brackets and finished in second place! Great job to our brothers from the 'Natti!
