Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

After jumping out to a 7-0 lead on the Cardinals, the CoBALTS fell asleep. We woke up to a 12-8 deficit going into the sixth but in time to score 8 runs in the last inning for a 17-12 win. T.R. O'Brien left his crying kids on the sideline to shut down the Cardinals for 2 2/3 innings and got the Win. Barry Martin and Lit'l 'Balt Tim Klanke (2) went large for the CoBALTS. Reigning MVP Bobby Crooks took one for the team when he sacrificed his ailing arm to give T.R. time to warm up. Bob knew he'd be taking a chance on being "done" for the year, but he realized the 'Balts needed him and gave us what he had. The unusually poor defense kept him on the hill far too long, and he finally had to remove himself from the game. Hopefully, with a few weeks rest, Bob can return healthy, as he is the most versatile player we have. Up next: Cheviot and the 'Toppers!
