Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Over the long winter, Cincinnati Baseball lost one of its great characters and an even better guy.

Max McLeary was a fixture behind home plates in this town for decades. And in 2006, was the ump for the Cobalt's World Series Championship in Ft. Myers, Florida.

He will be missed by all. Rest in Peace, Sir! 

The Cobalts fall to Louisville Dry Wall in the NABF Finals 9-5 in a long Sunday in Derby City.

Jake Kenney took the hill battling a nasty foot injury and couldn't find the plate thus spotting the host team 6 runs before anyone knew what hit us.

But the Balts battled back all day, coming just short of a few clutch hits to get a victory.

Not So Young Steve Beiser impressed the Derby City crowd with 5 grinding innings of relief to give the Balts a chance in their comeback. J-Schunk also did a great job of keeping it close but it was not to be. Cohill finishes the Tourney with a .500 BA that showed what a true veteran Balt he is...great Tourney and Season JayCo!

So the 2013 season is over. A League Championship Year, which puts this squad up there in the top tier of all time Cobalt Teams across our 28 years.

Well done Cobalts!!!

Bats go cold as clutch hits were hard to find in a 3-1 loss to the host team, Louisville Star Drywall.

Adrian Schau deserved better as he gives up only 1 earned run.

This drops the Balts in to the Loser bracket to face the Portland Indiana Rockets later in the day on Saturday.

Winner will need to beat Louisville twice on Sunday.

Jumping out to a huge lead, then hanging on to get the 14-11 win on Saturday afternoon capped off a long day for the Balts.

Tyler Snoke fought thru his shoulder issues and went 6+ strong innings. Gas gets the emergency Save by throwing a 1-2-3 ninth inning and sealing the deal.

Gas, Cohill, Steve-O, Thole, Ryan Jesse, and Jay Schunk all have big game at the plate.

So we move into the Championships on Sunday versus the well rested host team from Louisville.

Calling all arms...calling all arms!

Second round action of the NABF and your Cobalts display more power and speed by dropping the Chiefs for the 3rd time this year 11-0.

T-Stone gets the win with a dominating performance on the hill. Thole and Gastrich go deep and deeper while Cohill and the crew stay hot at the plate.

This takes the Cobalts into the 3rd round game against the winner of the Portland Indiana and Louisville Star Drywall game...winner gets a huge BYE.
