YORKVILLE WINS 2007 CRC CHAMPIONSHIP

Cobalts waisted a great outing by Paul Krause and gave up the lead in the 9th inning of a very hard-fought game to lose 5-4 versus Montgomery Inn.

Hats off to Steve Imhoff, the "Elder Statesman" of the CRC who can still dazzle young and old hitters.

Cobalts made short work of the short-handed Montgomery Inn boys in a 14-0 blow-out Friday night.

Mike Wagner gets the win with 3 great innings of work and Mike Hatfield drives in 5 runs.

Showdown now between undefeated Yorkville and the battered 'Balts who are now guaranteed an NABF bid.

Second game of Thursday night had the two early game losers facing off in a do-or-die game. #1 and #2 seeded teams went at it (literally) with Keith Becker and the Cobalts coming out on top 14-5.

So only 3 Teams remaining!

Cobalts move on to face Montgomery Inn on Friday night who lost to undefeated Yorkville...Cobalts need to Win a double-header to defend their title. But only one Win to qualify for NABF Regional.

Shannon Morgan has been hampered all season by shoulder pain but Tuesday night he showed the league why he won 18 games last year - because he throws OUTS. Morgan threw 6 2/3 innings and got the victory over a very talented Bulldogs team and their very verbal coaching staff who helped the Cobalts keep their edge throughout the game. Paul Krause picked up Shannon by throwing a bases loaded strikeout with 2 outs in the last inning...NICE! Offensively, the Cobalts looked like they might score 15 runs early but ran themselves out of a couple rally innings then had to hold on to the 3 runs they scored in first 2 innings. Web Gems turned in by Corey Fischer at 3b, Squinting Dougy Michelsen at 1B, Brandon Beyerlein in CF (threw out tying run at plate). Also of note: Zero (0) attempted steals against Rocky Curnayn behind the dish. Now the 'Balts take on Montgomery Inn Thursday night 6:30pm. The veteran Montgomery Inners put on an offensive display in an 8-1 victory over the Chiefs. KEEP ON CHUGGING Ol' Balts!!!
