Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

Has been an interesting second half of the season, to say the least. Comings and goings too weird to mention but in the end, the Cobalts are always ready to do battle with the best.

In past couple weeks, we have taken steps to get ready for AABC World Series trip by adding depth to roster, and racked up 3 more Wins (Champions, Talons) 1 tough loss (Yorkville), and 1 wild tie (Chiefs).

Now we finish up the regular season with a game Saturday versus the Meridians (4pm at Heritage Park).

Then, the City Tournament kicks-off Monday night where the Cobalts and Chiefs square off again in ound #1...Always a good time!

So now you are up to date with "As The Cobalt Turns." We stand a healthy 19-5-1 with much work still to do. 

Temp was above 100 on Saturday but the Cobalts came to play.

Mike Peterson goes 5 for the Win, Snoke, Stiggy, and Schau solid in relief for an 8-2 victory.

John Kennedy got the offense going with a 2 RBI double then stole home 3 pitches later. T-Stone and Sunshine Morgan showed that the staff is full of "true athletes" banging out 3 hits. JayCo and Mike Stidham also with RBIs on the hot day.

So Balts stand at 16-4 with Chiefs up Tuesday nite.

The Royals give up a cheap win and the Balts take the opportunity to re-commit themselves to the march on a Title. This group is bonded...

It begins again this Saturday at Lakota West against the Talons (10am). Then next Tuesday vs. Chiefs will determine the League Champions.

All good in Cobalt Nation. Full Steam Ahead!!

Sometimes our Cobalt Team mantra takes on real-life form when needed most....late Tuesday night Douggy Fresh Hoff shows up at Roselawn Park out of nowhere. Coach hasn't seen Doug (our early 1990's Cobalt starting pitcher anchor) for almost 15 years but after a couple stories it seemed like yesterday!

Priceless memories of Big Douggy breaking into a Cabbage Patch Dance on the hill, or getting a direct-from-the-hose shower during mini heat stroke remind us why the Cobalts have been together for 26 years....it's about the bond that you share on the dusty diamond in the heat of a summer and the lifelong friendships shared over cans of Natches afterward.

Here's to you Douggy Fresh, and all Cobalts everywhere who went to battle together as teammates across 4 different decades.
