A solid all-around team effort lead to Team Glassman’s 11-8 victory over Team Eppstein. A tight affair for most of the evening until Team Glassman scored 4 in the 6th and 1 in the 7th to forge an 11 -5 lead only to see Eppstein make a valiant attempt at a comeback in the bottom of the 7th scoring 3 runs with 2 outs and then loading the bases putting the potential winning run at home plate. A wicked line drive up the middle snared by Gig ended the game. Brandon Guttman, Dan Glassman, and Gig Franklin lead the way in hitting each going 3 for 4 with rookie Ricky John John Evers a solid 2 for 3 in his debut

After a sluggish start and Gordon down 6-3 in Schwartz’s team batting in the top of the third rookie Gary Katz’s steady game defense and rookie outfielderJason George’s momentum changing diving double play catch took the Gordon team into a 4th inning hitting barrage of 9 runs. They then held on defensively and scorred 4 more in the bottom of the 4th for a 16-6 victory. Game ball presented by the team to these two rookies.
