Cobalts End Their 29 Year Run

Posted by Mark Dietz at Mar 15, 2015 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

They say all good things must come to an end.

Fellas - it's been a GREAT ride! And I want to thank all of the players, friends, wives, and opponents who shared their summers with the Cobalts.

The memories that span ballfields from British Columbia, to Cincinnati, to Ft. Myer, Florida are too many to list here. But one thing for sure, the Cobalts definitely knew how to have fun...and play solid championship baseball. 

So to all, we raise one final Natch together and celebrate all who wore the Cobalt Uniform. Because "Once a Balt, Always a Balt!"

Cheers,

Coach

Cobalts Begin Year #29 with a WIN !

Posted by Mark Dietz at Jun 9, 2014 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Cobalts begin their 29th consecutive season with a Tuesday night shut out of the Dayton Dodgers.

Jake "from State Farm" has 3 hits and a "hideous" steal of home. Jake Morris and John LaSoda-Pop add 2 hits each.

Pitching was strong in the 8-0 win lead by Brett Sidewinder and Adrian Schau.

1-0 in CRC Play as the march toward another Championship begins!
