Friday Night DeLight - Cobalts Win 2 More
In game #1, the Cobalt veterans behind Paully Krause beat the Hawks 8-5. Jason/Jacob Campbell gets his second Save in as many nights. Mike Daddy Hatfield hit his second triple of the year and Tom Taylor drove in a few more runs to lead the offense. Couple of web gems from Corey Fischer also of note.
In game #2, The New Kids stormed the field and beat down the Cubs 10-5. Mikey Taylor went 6 innings for the Win. Steve Adams, Jeff Case, and Ben Bryan all with big hits but the night belonged to first year man Rob Tingale who went 4-4 with two doubles and 3 RBI.
After the double-header victories, Tingale shotgunned two Buddy Lights, brushed up against Rocky and mumbled something about "light-weight" and then pointed to the sky and dedicated his 4-hit performance to The Giuste!
Cobalts improve to 11-2
Cobalts and Beyerlein Stamp-out Flames
It took 8 innings but the Cobalts beat the Cincinnati Flames 5-3 in exciting Thursday night action in front of a capacity crowd at Roselawn Park.
The speedy Flames were held in-check by starter Mike Wagner, then Admiral Heasley who gets the "W", with a Save by youngster Jason/Jacob Campbell.
Offensively, Stoecklein drops another BOMB that tied the game up in the 6th. Tom Taylor drives in 2 big runs. Then Brando Beyerlein erupts in extra innings with a game winning RBI double followed by an insurance run - straight steal of home...ohhh soo pretty!
Cobalts are now 9-2 and feelin' good about it all.
The Cobalt Pitching Staff had recorded 3 straight 1 Hitters (Paully, Heasley, Rossell)... Now make it 4 straight after Keith Becker returns from a male organ ailment and shuts out the Cincinnati Stingers 10-0 with another 1 hitter.
Web-Fan-Favorite Brian Stoecklein started the Hit Parade in the first and just about all 10 hitters contributed to the Wednesday night victory. Defensively, Jason Cohill gets MAJOR PROPS for walling up the dish on a tough night.
Your Cobalts are now sporting a rotation that includes 6 pitchers as tough as you can find in Semi Pro Baseball...and I'm not even counting The Lady's Man!
Cobalts stand at 8-2.
Young Guns Put on their Game Faces in Week #3
Cobalts get two nice wins in the third week of '08 action thanks to 2 great outings by the youngest Cobalt staffers...
In Wednesday night's 10-0 victory over Clubhouse AC (formerly Crosley's) it was Admiral Kevin Heasley who threw lights-out. He was helped by the entire Cobalt lineup who kept up their hot hitting.
Then in the top-tier Thursday Night League, it was Rick Rossell who took the hill and threw a 1 hit shutout against the tough Chiefs (whose own hurler threw a 3 hitter gem). But in the 5th, Richie Ayala scored the game winning run on Tom Taylor's base hit to give the Cobalts a 1-0 Victory.
'Balts now stand 7-2 on the season.
Sometimes You're Hot...Sometimes Not So Much
Cobalts were monsooned-out on Wednesday night so came into Thursday night's match-up against Yorkville with clean uniforms, fresh legs, and full coolers, but forgot to bring their bats. The Yorkville troops put a 9-0 butt-kicking on your Cobalts - all in just 90 minutes...But we quickly filed that game under "poop happens" while taking fustrations out on those poor 54 Natches that didn't stand a chance.
Boy's in Blue-and-Gold had to regroup because Friday is double-header night. In Game #1 vs. the Cubs, Brian Akers throws for the "w" and the bats were awoken with a 12 run outburst lead by Michelsen, Bitzer, and Curnayn. 12-2 was the final.
In Game #2, Coach gave the pearl to Ol' Paully who was absolutely "dealing!" Mr. Krause throws a 1 hitter in an 11-0 victory over the Hawks/Sting. Bats stayed awake late into the night with a bomb from Daddy Mike Hatfield and big hits from Stoecklein, Ayala, and newcomer Steve Adams.
So all good again at the bat rack. Cobalts stand 5-2 on the young season.
