News and Announcements
Game #2 of the Regionals saw the upstart Cincy Crew take on the Cobalts on Friday afternoon action and the Old Guys brought their bats. Cobalts explode for 15 runs and KC Krumeich pitched 5 solid for the win.
Then the waiting......
Sent to a local tavern to await the outcome of Chiefs vs. Portland the Cobalts dined and sipped on pitchers of Pepsi. At stake, either a Bye into Semi Finals or a date with the Chiefs at 9pm.
Chiefs took care of business so Balts had to re-charge. We send Rossell to the mound and things unravell quickly - literally unravell, as Rick tears his oblique again before finishing 1st inning...Morgan takes hill in emergency and does solid work for five but Chiefs take down Balts 10-5.
So Balts go into Saturday knowing they need to win 2 to make it to Championship game.
Terry Stone throws a No-Hitter and Cobalts' bats come up clutch in a 4-1 Opening Round victory over the Portland Rockets Thursday night.
Matt Hall scored two. Mikey Taylor had a big RBI double, and Dougy Michelsen iced it with a 2 out 6th inning 2 RBI double.
And on a serious note: Tom Taylor survived a vicious fastball to the skull in the 1st inning. We hope it was an "accident" by the Portland pitcher but TT had to leave the game.
