Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Dan Reineke, Shannon Morgan, and Tony Aichele combine for another great pitching outing by the Cobalt Staff. The offense was lead by Timmy Klanke going deep (just a little "sugar" on the trot) and hitting in 4 of the Cobalts runs. Happy 4th and a safe holiday weekend to All Cobalts and Friends!!!

The bats finally woke up and the Cobalts throw another shut-out. This time against the young Receptions team Wednesday night. Bo's 4-4 night and Stiggy and Dougy's going LARGE into the woods at Caldwell for bombs lead the way to a 19-0 victory. Shane Schirmer gets the Win and Jason Giust threw the final two innings of the combined 3 hit shut-out. Defense was spotless, highlighted by Todd Hiler's eight assists. Next up: Cincy Stars (Thurs. 8:30 at Hille, wear Gold)

In another wood bat classic, the CoBALTS' swung the bats like "rusty gates" and waisted a 2-hit, 10 strikeout performance by Paully in a 1-0 loss. Danny Bell threw his own 2-hitter against the CoBALTS and was aided by typical stellar defense from the Stogies including great play from old-timers Andy Puhle (3B) and Eddie Collins (RF) that robbed potential run producing hits. CoBALTS are now 18-6 on the season. Next up: Receptions (Weds at Caldwell 6:30, wear Blue) Cincinnati Stars (Thurs at Hille 8:30, wear Gold)

In another Wood Bat thriller, the Cobalts proved to be too deep in the arm department as they pull out a 5-3 extra inning victory over the talented Yorkville (formerly Logan) team. Paul Krause, Shannon Morgan, and winner Dan Reineke, combined to throw a 7 hitter in nine innings. Aiding the Pitching Squad was excellent defense including a bottom of 7th rifle-shot from center fielder Andrew "Bubba" Deitchel to Joe Spriggs "Monster" at the plate to stop the game winning run from scoring. Offensively, Mike Harris was 4-5 with 3 stolen bases and Steve "3 Hole" Stigler came up big in the 9th to avoid "his worse night ever" with a 2-out, 2-strike smash to score the winnning runs. Cobalts move to 17-5 on the season!!!

Victor Carreon is the latest Cobalt Pitcher to carry the team to victory, throwing a one-hit shutout thru 6 innings. Tony Aichele got the save as the Cobalts blanked the Colerain Reds 2-0 on Wednesday. Victor proved again to be a money pitcher for the CoBALTS (18-7 lifetime) who fielded a team that had zero (0) starters playing in their regular position and 4 pitchers plus Coach playing defense and hitting in a somewhat "creative" lineup due to absences. Good news is the Cobalts can still post a "W" going to 16-5 on the season without 8 regular players. Johnny Mulves was heard saying, "who needs them?" Next: Mt. Saint Joe College Team Thursday (6:30 Roselawn, wear Gold)
