Next Stop For Travelling 'Balts....Clearwater Beach, FL
If there's baseball to be played in your neck of the woods, the Cobalts are likely to be heading your way. This November the boys from The Natti pack their gear and trek down to beautiful Clearwater Beach to play in the MABL Fall Classic.
Games will be scheduled in the stadium facilities of the Reds, Pirates, Devil Rays, and Tigers. Seeding Round Games will be Nov 6th-9th with championship on Nov 10th.
Stay tuned as the Cobalts prep for fun-in-the-sun...again!
Saturday September 13th at Roselawn (1 pm) the Cobalts will welcome the Columbus Police Baseball Squad in a Fall double-header Exhibition.
We recommend anyone travelling north or south on I-71 that day to be cautious of your speed...
All Cobalts, whether going to Tampa or not, are invited out for a great day of baseball and beverages.
Stay tuned for more Fall Baseball as the 'Balts try to keep their girlish figures for the MABL World Series.
Cobalts Knock Off San Diego Stars But Then...Idaho
Cobalts couldn't have asked for a more exciting start to their GFI Tournament - taking down the defending GFI Champions, San Diego Stars, in a 6-5 thriller.
Rick Rosell grinded thru 5.3 tough innings against the Semi Pro powerhouse Stars. Then Shannon Morgan came on to throw 2.3 great innings to get the Win with help from Dave Prosser (save) in the 9th. Cobalt pitchers held the Stars to 7 hits total. Jason Cohill had 2 RBIs and Rocky Curnayn scored twice and Rex Baker reached twice to lead the offense.
That win was enough to get the Cobalts into the "Money Round" Final 8 where we fell hard to the Lewiston Truckers, eventual GFI Champions - just one of two incredibly strong Idaho Teams playing in the GFI.
If you ever hear anyone talk-up the talent that plays at Lewis-Clark (NAIA 16 time champs) or College of Idaho -- believe them! These guys can stroke the wood bats like no others. They lit up our best arms for 17 runs...then rolled over the Seattle Studs to become Champs. In earlier action the Caldwell, Idaho Coyotes put 16 on us.
Want to thank the guys who travelled so far to play some great baseball. Was fun suiting up against the best Semi Pros in North America.
Now we focus on the MABL World Series in Tampa in November.
12 of the Best Semi Pro Teams in North America stand between the 'Balts and glory....that, and about 2,500 miles of flying/driving.
"So where the heck are you going?" ask many Cobalt Fans.
Thought maybe a map would help folks visualize exactly how just far your Cobalts will go to find a good game of baseball.
