TEAM GUTTMAN got their first victory of the young season with a 17-6 win over previously undefeated TEAM WEISBROT, 17-6, as MIKE “PAINT THE BLACK” GRAY pitched wonderfully…..hitting leaders were captain BRANDON GUTTMAN, back after being off one year to scout talent in the Far East, with a first at bat three run home run……DAVID “KING” SOLOMON with his first home run, the powerful father/son duo of DOUG SANDOR AND BENJY SANDOR, now a combined 14 for 16 for the season (do we hear drug testing?), “DOWNTOWN DREW BROWN with a double and triple, PAT “THE BAT” FELDMAN with a triple and two runs scored and finally “JUMPIN” JACK COHEN with a 2 for 3 and two runs scored…..

GARY ASKIN made his captain’s debut a winning one as TEAM CRONSTEIN notched their first victory on Sunday morning with a 19-13 victory over winless TEAM ROSENTHAL…..with regular captain, ADAM CRONSTEIN, on a scouting trip, the victors were led on offense by rookie JUSTIN BERG, son of JOHN BERG, and his very unorthodox batting stance with a 4 for 4 and two home runs, KEN GROH, 5 for 5 and three RBI’S, MICHAEL ASKIN, 4 for 5 and three RBI’S and GARY ASKIN, 4 for 5 and five RBI’s……a ten run third inning busted the game open only to have TEAM ROSENTHAL make a game of it by trailing by four runs going into the 7th inning……HOWARD GOLDWASSER had two hits and JOEL KAHN continued his hot hitting by getting a few base knocks in addition to coming into relieve the ageless STEVE EPPSTEIN, who reportedly was in bed well past his bedtime Saturday night and never could get his game together…..rookie BRIAN GOREN played a solid RCF and looks to be the real deal……AARON COMPTON played a solid SS……

Rumors are flying early in the season that the ownership of TEAM ROSENTHAL are looking into making changes possibly on and off the field……NO comments from players or captain ROGER ROSENTHAL, but they have started the year 0-3 and it would appear that changes could be likely before things really get out of hand…….STAY TUNED!!!!!

TEAM WEISBROT improved to 2-0 with a 8-5 victory over TEAM SCHWARTZ, now 1-1.
The victors jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back behind the strong pitching of STEVE ZAWATZKY and a strong defense led by JEFF WEISBROT and MARK LEVINE, turning two double plays and a key running catch by COREY SCHWARTZ in the outfield.

TEAM LEADER defeated TEAM ROSENTHAL, 13-4, to notch a season opening victory behind the fine pitching of BARRY KAPLAN……..
KAPLAN not only didn’t walk anyone, but collected four hits……MATT STEINBERG went five for five including a head first slide into second base which dirtied his shirt (what else is new?)….the one bright side to TEAM ROSENTHAL was a solo homerun off the bat of DEE HARRIS, which barely alluded the outstreched dive of GREG LEADER……
TEAM ROSENTHAL is off to a slow start at 0-2, but has yet to field the team he drafted…….STAY TUNED……
