Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Cheviot must have gotten lost in their French Quarter and no-shows for the season finale on Thursday night.

Balts throw 1 pitch and take the 7-0 cheapie.

Cobalts stand at 14-4 on the season (11-3 in League) 

Cobalts drop a heartbreaker to the Bulldogs Tuesday night in a roller-coaster extra inning affair at stormy Roselawn Park.

The Bulldogs, sporting a fairly new lineup including a recently released professional (nice kid, by the way) took an early 3-0 lead. Then Rex Baker knocked in a 2-out RBI in the 4th. Into the 5th the Balts looked in business with bases juiced but Shawn White Chocolate Aichel (former Cobalt) came in and shut down the Cobalt rising.

So 3-1 in the sixth when Tom Taylor blasts a 2 run HR to tie it up. Stone and Peterson were shutting down the Bulldog bats so all looked good when Mike Hatfield lead off the bottom of 7th with a double. Mikey T bunts him over but there he was stranded as we failed to get bat on ball......rest is history as Bulldogs put some points up in 8th and Balts fail to respond.

So, Bulldogs win the NABF auto-bid as League Champions - congrats to them (even though I surely wish DJ would learn some baseball etiquette before I retire).

Next up: Cheviot at Roselawn Thursday 6:30pm

The Cobalts took on the young Cincinnati Stars for the 2nd time in 2 weeks and this one went down to the wire in an exciting 1-0 Cobalt Win.

Mike Wagner climb the hill for his first start of the season and threw 5 strong innings of shutout baseball.

The Cobalt bats were quieted by the strong Stars pitching until the 7th inning. Jake Daugherty leads of the inning with a hit then scores the game-winner with the help of some walks and a Sac Fly by Mike Hatfield.

Mike Peterson gets the win in relief with 2 innings of impressive work on the mound.

Cobalts retain 1st place in the NABF Qualifying League and head into the final week of regular season play.

Terry Stone stays perfect and surrenders only 3 hits on the night in gaining his 5th Win of the 2011 season.

The bats also came alive against the young guns of the Stars with hard hit balls all night and even a Bomb over Hille's fence delivered from Cobalt 1st Year Man, Andy Thole!

Also adding offense tonight were JayCo, Rex, Matt Hall, and Mike Hat.

So your Cobalts take over 1st place in the NABF Qualifying League with an 8-2 record and 11-3 overall.

Nice week of ball, Balts!! 

Shannon Morgan kept the young Flames off-balance for 6 strong innings and the "Old Guys" pounded out 5 RBIs - all with 2 outs for a nice CRC League win.

Wags and Rex Baker lead the clutch hitting with help from Tom Taylor and Matt Hall.

Steve Beiser got the Save looking strong in relief.

The victory keeps the Cobalts in a tie for 1st place with a big game Thurday night at Hille (6:30pm) against The Cincinnati Stars.

Cobalts are 10-3 on the season.
