*TEAM WEISBROT broke their five game losing streak by defeating TEAM ROTHSTEIN, 9-4, behind the pitching of JASON “BIG HAUS” FAUST, on loan from TEAM GUTTMAN…..in return for the favor, FAUST was paid off in cheap sports caps……offensive highlights came from the entire team, but key contributors were BEN RODRIGUEZ, with a bases loaded clearing double, TEDDY KANTOR, with three hits, rookie JACK “CAJUN” RUBIN, with two hits and JOSH FRANKEL with a homerun and three runs scored……however the JCC SOFTBALL LEAGUE PLAY OF THE YEAR to date came from University of Kentucky graduate, LEV ORLOV, when he leaped over catcher DAVID WEIL to avoid a tag to score a run……WOW!!!!!!!
**TEAM WAGNER finally found their missing hitting sticks as they pounded TEAM LEFTON, 15-2…..behind the outstanding pitching of MARK WEISSER and solid defense from WILL WAXLER, MATT STEINBERG, JOHNNY BERG, STEVE OSTROW, MICHAEL KAHAN and MARK BLOOM…..captain BRAD “WAGS” WAGNER promised a line-up change and it made a BIG difference as STEINBERG led off and was 3 for 5 with three doubles…..JORDAN “THE HOOSIER” COHEN, injured in the game on an errant throw while running to first base, scored four times and had a homerun…..TEAM WAGNER plays first place TEAM SCHWARTZ in a game that will be aired on the Cincinnati Gardens Radio Network…..you need Cincinnati Commandos and/or Cincinnati Kings and/or Cincinnati Roller Girls season tickets in order to pick it up, while TEAM LEFTON battles TEAM GREFER in a game to be aired on WGN-TV……
ALEX LEFTON, ace cub reporter for TEAM LEFTON, reports in that he had a double and a triple…..too bad the rest of the LEFTONS can’t do squat!!!!…..BEREL “BOOM BOOM” COHEN also did his share with two hits and had both RBI’s…..JIMMY LEFTON reportedly pulled his groin and was replaced on the mound in the 7th inning by STEVE “Z” ZAWATSKY, who was shelled for a nine spot to put the game away….good defense was played by MARC TESSEL at 2B, JERRY KIRZNER at 3B and BEN “WEEZE” LEFTON at SS…….
***TEAM GREFER got back in the victory column with a 18-14 victory of TEAM CRONSTEIN….the victors jumped out to a big lead and held back a comeback to post the win……DAVID COHEN, father of Syracuse University bound EVAN COHEN, had a triple and a great catch, while KYLE GREFER had four hits and a diving catch……sub JEFF NASH (TEAM GUTTMAN) had four hits to help spark the victory….GREG “GIG” FRANKLIN played through an injury or “old” age to pitch well enough for the win with the game ending on a diving catch by sub BRIAN GOLDBERG to end the game…..
