Tigers and Lions First Up in 2012

The 2012 baseball schedule is starting to take shape.  The Bengals will open the season at Nobby's Ballpark on Monday, March 26th vs the Twinsburg Tigers.  The following week the Bengals play their first game as part of the North Coast League vs the Lions of NDCL.  Please follow the calendar at the bottom of the page for schedule updates.

Training Camp Opens Monday

Baseball season officially opens this Monday when the Bengals start their preparations for the 2011 season.  The Bengals finished with a 17-11 record in 2010; we are looking to improve with a veteran line-up and depth on our pitching staff.  This will be the final year competing in the Cuyahoga River Baseball Conference; all Benedictine High School athletic teams will be members of the North Coast League beginning fall 2011.  

Holiday Camp a Success

Thirty-four fifth through eighth grade boys joined the Bengals coaching staff and players on Monday afternoon to learn the skills of pitching and catching.  The kids learned the proper mechanics of the positions and ended the day with various drills to improve their game.  Special thanks to Bengal alumnus Matt Thomas ‘09 and Ryan Kovar ‘10 for returning to school and providing instruction for the day.

Coach Sliwinski & Coach Tomc Meet Tim Cheatwood

Tim Cheatwood ‘97 had a game to remember last night as the Cleveland Gladiators defeated the Utah Blaze 75-39.  Cheatwood had three fumble recoveries and returned one for a touchdown. 

After the game the Bengals coaches got to meet the star of the game, he was named Player of the Game for his defensive efforts.

Cheatwood was a 4-year letterman at Ohio State.  He then went on to play in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos.  He was a CFL  Eastern Division All-Star in 2003 & 2004. He was also named to the CFL All-Star Team in 2004 when he led the league with 14 quarterback sacks.
