Cobalts Open 08 Campaign with 3-1 First Week

Posted by Mark Dietz on May 31 2008 at 05:00PM PDT

After a freakish rainout on opening night in Dayton, the Balts got going with a Wednesday night victory over the boys of ATO, 14-0. Paul Krause and Wags looked in mid-season form while newcomer lefty Kevin Heasley finished out. Bats were led by Nick "i didn't retire" Schmidt who went 4-5 with 4 RBI. And newcomer Brian Stoecklein hit his 1st Homer.

Game 2, Thursday night League action versus Cheviot was another Shannon Morgan Show who went 4 for the win followed by newcomer Rick Rossell who was equally impressive going final three innings for an 8-1 win. Offense was helped by Cheviot miscues but Todd Taylor and newcomer Fred Breitling had big 2Bs driving in 2 RBIs each.

Game 3 versus the Hawks was not a game to remember as the Balts played poor defense, ran themselves out of innings (thanks to Hawks nice little catcher), and let a 7th inning lead evaporate into an 8-7 loss. Brian Stoecklein continued to impress going 7-9 on the evening.

Game 4 was second of the night on Friday versus Cubs. Mikey Taylor goes the distance in a gutty 1st outing and Balts win 8-6 behind more Stoecklein and couple of hits from Shannon Morgan.

Sorry, no humorous pictures or cute inside jokes - we got work to do boys!
