Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Todd Taylor, the good looking twin, has a perfect night going 4-4 with 3 RBI and 3 SBs leading a strong offensive night for the Cobalts. Brian Stoecklein also added 2 doubles with 3 RBIs (all to the warning track).

Shannon Morgan pitches 3 semi-perfect innings for the win and Admiral Heasley gets the hold.

Cobalts now stand 23-5 finishing up this last week of the regular season.

The always exciting Cincinnati Amateur Baseball City Championship Tournament began this Sunday afternoon!!!

So the brackets are set with 17 teams strapping it on. And the seedings make for some interesting early match-ups. And as always, great baseball will be played for a solid week...the prize? - a nice plack, bragging rights, and a bid to the NABF Regionals!

The Cobalts secured a bid to the NABF Regionals Friday night with a 9-1 victory over the Hawks.

Mike Wagner took the hill and threw a 2 hitter against a strong Hawks line-up. Mikey Taylor drove in 3 RBI and went 5-5 on the entire night.

In the second game, Mikey T took the hill and gets the win as Wags returns the first game favor with a home run and double. Enough for a 6-1 victory over Cubs.

Cobalts go into the final regular season week of games with a 22-5 record.

Shannon Morgan gets the 13-3 win over the much improved Naturals on Wednesday night. But the victory was an expensive one as Jake Smith (an original Cobalt of 22 years) returned to action and amazingly broke 3 bats in 3 plate appearances...and not one of the bats were his own.

Deuce Hock was the first to lose one, then Timmy Kid Klanke about cried when his prized 3 year old thumper shattered. Third down was Nick Schmidt who wisely lent Jake a vintage 1988 Wayne Krenchiki model that splintered in fine fashion.

Other highlights: Stoecklein hit his 6th homer. Doug Michelsen and Richie Ayala went 3 for 3.

Cobalts now 20-4.

In a game that seemed like nobody wanted to win, the Cobalts hand the Chiefs a 7-6 win.

Chiefs exact some revenge on Rick Rosell by touching him for 5 quick ones. Then Cobalts come back with 6 runs in the 4th...that's the only good part of this story.

That one run lead held until a gut-wrenching throwing error allowed the Chiefs to tie it in the 6th. Then in the 7th, the 'Balts threaten but come up short and the Chiefs score their winning run on a walk-off wild pitch.

Good win for the Chiefs...not so pretty for Balts.

But back at it tonight against a surging Hawks squad. Cobalts are now 20-5 on the season.
