Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

The CoBALT pitching staff and defense held off the Nationally Ranked Hilltopper Hitters to take a 2 game lead in the head-to-head annual Quatman Trophy competition. Starter Keith Becker got rudely tossed by the ump (along with Coach) in the 3rd which left the mound to the "Ever Ready" Shannon Morgan who was coming off 13 hours rest after pitching 7 complete in the Montgomery Inn victory. Shannon "humped it up" and got the win after allowing only 1 run in three innings. TR O'Brien got the save. TR's save was aided by the leather flashed in centerfield by Cal Battle. CoBALTS move to 14-5 for the season and we are proud to just try real hard.

The CoBALTS added to their "quality wins" for 2004 with an impressive 8-3 victory over a tough Montgomery Inn team Wednesday night. That leaves the CoBALTS 13-5 on the season. Shannon Morgan again was the CoBALT stopper, going all 7 and giving up only 6 hits. Spriggs Monster and Boo Rachel found their RBI swings again in leading the offense. Johnny Mulves also provided a spark with his consecutive steals of 3rd and Homeplate. Tonight - NATIONALLY RANKED Hilltoppers in Game 2 for the Quatman Trophy: 8:30, Roselawn (wear Gold).

Cobalts got an easy win (7-0) over the fearful Stingers. Keith Becker gets his second victory. Cobalts stand at 12-5 as they move into another challenging week: Weds: MONTGOMERY INN, 6:30 Roselawn - wear blue Thurs: HILLTOPPERS, 8:30 Roselawn - wear gold Fri: Jeff's Pharmacy, 8:30 Hille - wear blue

Midland Warriors were the latest team to resurrect Cy Young from his grave to hold the Cobalts down in a 2-1 loss that wasted Steve Stigler's 7 inning gutty pitching performance. Paul Krause got the Win in a rain shortened 2-0 Win over the Receptions squad. Joe Spriggs Monster was cleaning-up the dishes on the offense. Cobalts need to find the sticks or Coach is going to install the "All Pitchers" line-up to break the scoring slump... TR, get loose!

Beating the Cincinnati Mustangs 8-7 but dropping to the hard hitting Cheviot Patriots last week have the Cobalts 10-4 overall after one full month of play. The Cheviot game was indicitive of all 4 losses this year as the Cobalts just keep searching for that BIG hit with runners in scoring position. Hats off to the Patriots who are 11-1 and looking strong. In the Mustang win, new-comers Jimmy Mullinex and Tony Shaffner combined on the hill for the victory. Next up: Weds: Receptions, Hille 6:30, (wear blue) Thur: Midland, Hille 6:30, (gold) Fri: Stingers, Hille 6:30, (blue)
