Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

The Cobalts took to the field at Digi Domain Stadium with high hopes of making it to the Final 4 of the world Series. But the Albany Athletics and their 8 year Triple A veteran lefty stood in the Balt's way.

Albany can also swing the bat as the Cobalt defense needed 3 double plays to get out of jams and went into the 7th inning down 1-0.

The Albany ex-pro was painting the black and getting and extra 8 inches just to make life harder on your sore and beat up Balts. So only one real rally - a two out bases loaded opportunity - was squelched by a strike out...."BOO" could be heard often and loud throughout this poorly umped tourney.

So down go the Balts in a 3-0 loss. But not bad given we headed into Amateur Baseball's top World Series with 13 patched together boys and veterans. We sent home two incredibly talented teams: Houston and defending champs Canton Stallions. And, we were in each game to the last out.

We came, we saw, we won, and we partied as only Cobalts can.....all good!!!

Thanks to the Balts who made the trip. It was one to remember!!!
