GAME RECAPS FROM JULY 18……
First to report in……..
Reported by MARC BRAFMAN……
BRAFMAN 9 LEFTON 8
TEAM BRAFMAN got back on the winning track with a typical last inning come from behind
victory over TEAM LEFTON…..
They trailed by a run entering the bottom of the 7th inning…..
“It’s never easy for our team. We seem to always find ourselves in close games. I’m just glad we came
out on top, ” BRAFMAN said afterwards.
As has been the case since week 1, this was a total team effort…….
On the offensive side, DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN” COHEN had two hits including the game
tying single…..also getting into the act were ERIC “THE MOUTH OF THE MIDWEST” GRUEN
with a couple of base knocks and a delayed stolen base, JASON “THE MAD HUNGARIAN”
FAUST with three hits, however the big offensive hero was JOEL “THE WRATH OF” KAHN who
was 3 for 4 with four RBI’s including the game winning single with the bases loaded……
“I’m happy to bust out of my slump in a big way tonight. This was the turnaround I need to get
cranking in the second half, ” KAHN said after the game winner.
The defense as also key as RILEY ABLE, AARON COMPTON, MIKE “THE FLASH” CREEMER
and of course JEREMY “HAMILTON” FOGEL made all the plays look easy in LCF, but the big play
was turned in by LEON “THE BULL” SESERMAN robbing MIKE ROTHSTEIN of extra bases with
a great play at 3B….
Asked what advice his roommate TAYLOR SCHWARTZ had been giving him to help him stay
focused he said, “Being with a woman all night never hurt any JCC softball player, but this is
important being up all night looking for a woman that will do you in.”
Finally, no game would be complete without contributions from FAUST on the mound as he threw
two balls into the concession stand area, but also struck out four and made a couple of plays in the
field with one comeback that resulted with him falling over.
Faust explained, “You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to run
forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to first base, then your body says, “who me?”
