Coming up short in Week #1

Posted by Mark Dietz on May 30 2010 at 05:00PM PDT

Mix some fresh new talent in with the Cobalt Veterans and you usually get a strong start....not yet in 2010.

Game #1 (Thursday 6pm) versus Flames had the Balts jumping out to a 4-3 lead in 5th inning behind a Wags homer only to have pitching and fielding break-down late in an 8-3 loss.

Game #2 (Thursday 8:30 pm) the Cobalts did pull together a nice 3-1 victory over a good Cheviot squad. Mikey Taylor with the big RBI game winning hit. Rick Rossell and Chris Sunderman combine for the W on the hill.

Game #3 (Sunday 1pm) versus Yorkville saw the return of Mr. Becker to the hill who went 3 scoreless. Then Sunderman worked 2 good innings giving way to eventual winner, Sunshine Morgan - doing what he does best (throwing on fumes). Bats were lead again by Mikey Taylor with brothers Tom and Todd adding 2 hits each. Jayco also with a couple knocks in the 7-1 win.

Game #4 (hot Sunday 3pm) versus Flames again. Rex Baker goes deep but tired Balts kick it around in a circus like defensive effort. Combine with 2 pitching injuries and you get another loss to the upstart Flames (9-3). Coach Spriggs Monster of the Flames has the Balts number early in this year's campaign.

So we stand at 2-2 with a beat up staff and some holes in our bats...could be worse but we've got work to do!
