#1 SCHWARTZ VS. #7 WEISSER SET FOR FINALS…….WEDNESDAY SEPT. 6………6 P.M.
#1 SCHWARTZ defeated #5 LEADER, 12-5, and #7 WEISSER defeated #3 GROH, 4-1, to set up
the tournament title game……ESPN coverage starts at 5:30 p.m. with the pre-game show with STEVE
JARNICKI and long time JCC player DAVE WERNICK doing the play by play and color……
Also of note……..the first 100 fans to the game receive a complimentary RON ROSE bobble head…..
In one semi-final game on Field #2, top seeded SCHWARTZ defeated #5 seeded LEADER, 12-5…..
For the second week in a row, when things were looking bleak, they came back in the latter stages of
the game to bring home the victory…..
After trailing 5-3 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, the victors exploded for nine runs in part
due to some clutch hitting off the bats of PETE SPOERL, HOWIE SCHWARTZ and JERRY
KIRZNER…..
On the mound, SCHWARTZ pitched a masterful game giving up five runs…..all unearned…..
OF NOTE…….After what appeared to be a meltdown of some players (NOT to be named),
SCHWARTZ called a team meeting in the middle of the fifth inning to right the ship….
“It’s the first team meeting I’ve had in 55 years,” SCHWARTZ said afterwards.
