GROH 17 HIUDT 10
“Are you ready for some Sunday (morning) football?, ” asked captain KEN GROH as they
defeated TEAM HIUDT by a touchdown plus the PAT…..
Eight players had multi-hit games, but did something that could be a first in JCC history, JAMES
SWAN, ADAM CRONSTEIN, TYLER STANSBURY and PAT FELDMAN hit consecutive home
runs in the same inning……
In addition, FELDMAN went 4 for 4 with four RBI’s, SWAN went 4 for 4
with a triple and four runs scored and STANSBURY had another home run had three runs scored.
Also contributing were RYAN BAUM and DAVID WEIL with doubles….
“I hope the offense continues against a red hot TEAM GREFER in the final game of the regular
season, ” GROH said post game…..
second to report in…….
reported by MARC BRAFMAN……..
BRAFMAN 11 SCHWARTZ 10
“I give Howie’s team a lot of credit as they battled all game. Being down a man (ZACH SWADNER
went down with an undetermined injury), they really played well. I’m just glad we didn’t let the game
slip away,” a very relieved BRAFMAN said post game……
Offensively, they were led by BRAFMAN, JOEL “THE WRATH OF” KAHN, “THE MOUTH OF
THE MIDWEST” ERIC GRUEN, BEN “B-ROD” RODRIGUEZ, who showed off his speed with a
great bunt and DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN” COHEN, who had a couple of hits, but most
importantly his hustle scored the winning run from second base.
“Ever since Aerosmith has announced their retirement from touring it reminds me that if Stephen
Tyler can sing Dude Looks Like A Lady with such force, I can still bust my butt around 3rd base. So
even though I needed oxygen scoring from 2nd base, it was worth it to get the win,” COHEN
commented afterwards.
It wouldn’t be a BRAFMAN game without the usual stellar defense from JEREMY “HAMILTON”
FOGEL in LCF, sub GARY “THE KID” ASKIN and JEREMY “WE’VE GOT THE MEATS”
CANTOR, who for the second game in a row turned a 6-4-3 double play and also made a couple of
plays in the field that turned out to be big.
“Being Canadian, I try and field like my favorite goaltender, Gump Worsley and just keep my body
and glove down. When I close my eyes, I pretend I’m in Maple Leaf Gardens and it makes it easier
for me to stop the ball,” CANTOR said later.
As usual, JASON “THE MAD HUNGARIAN” FAUST kept the team in the game for the most part.
“Before the game, GARY (ASKIN) offered me some good advice to just take the ball and throw it
and throw strikes because home plate doesn’t move. That made a lot of sense to me and that is what I
tried to do,” FAUST said.
On a side note, BRAFMAN would like to thank JONATHAN “DOC” SUSAN for subbing and wish
him an 0-4 this Wednesday when we play them (SOLOMON)……….
