Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Cobalts couldn't have asked for a more exciting start to their GFI Tournament - taking down the defending GFI Champions, San Diego Stars, in a 6-5 thriller.

Rick Rosell grinded thru 5.3 tough innings against the Semi Pro powerhouse Stars. Then Shannon Morgan came on to throw 2.3 great innings to get the Win with help from Dave Prosser (save) in the 9th. Cobalt pitchers held the Stars to 7 hits total. Jason Cohill had 2 RBIs and Rocky Curnayn scored twice and Rex Baker reached twice to lead the offense.

That win was enough to get the Cobalts into the "Money Round" Final 8 where we fell hard to the Lewiston Truckers, eventual GFI Champions - just one of two incredibly strong Idaho Teams playing in the GFI.

If you ever hear anyone talk-up the talent that plays at Lewis-Clark (NAIA 16 time champs) or College of Idaho -- believe them! These guys can stroke the wood bats like no others. They lit up our best arms for 17 runs...then rolled over the Seattle Studs to become Champs. In earlier action the Caldwell, Idaho Coyotes put 16 on us.

Want to thank the guys who travelled so far to play some great baseball. Was fun suiting up against the best Semi Pros in North America.

Now we focus on the MABL World Series in Tampa in November.
