Panel Barn (Weds, the 3rd at 8:30 Hille), The Falcons (Monday, the 8th at 6:30 McNicholas), and back-to-back Hilltoppers (Thursday&Friday 11-12th at Roselawn) headline a killer mid-season test for the CoBALTS. After this stretch, we'll know how ready the 2002 squad is to make a World Series run...See you at the park!

The latest Semi Pro Baseball Rankings are in and the Cobalts are currently ranked 8th in the state and moving up in the Regional Polls. As the 2002 season nears the mid-point, the CoBALTS head into the meat of the schedule facing traditional rivals Blue Note Stogies and Hilltoppers (#3 in Ohio) all in the next 9 days.

Despite the usual rainout madness that has plagued the league these past two years, the CoBALTS have managed to start strong this season. Just a few of the big wins include CRC powers Montgomery Inn and Panel Barn, Memorial Day victories over 4 Roy Hobbs opponents including Akron, Cleveland and Connecticut squads. The CoBALTS will play host to both the NABF and AABC Regional Tournaments this year and look poised to make a run at a World Series title in 2002. Combining the ingredients of experienced pitching, strong defense, and the blend of youth's speed and veteran power, the CoBALTS again are a potent force in the Midwest.

With an impressive 11-1 win over the Cardinals, the Cobalts move to 3-0 on the season. Bobby Crooks in Relief gets the "W" and Lit'l Balt Klanke goes large for the first time this year.
