WINNERS/LOSERS WERE THE FOLLOWING……

IN THE BETTER LATE THAN NEVER DEPT…….

ZAC HIUDT reported in a little late for his first three games, but I “promised” him I would put something in……..because he went to the effort to send something in…….HINT!!!!!!!!!

WINNERS ON WEDNESDAY……HIUDT……LEADER….WEISBROT…..WEISSER….game reports will follow as captains report in……

For the second week in a row, TEAM WEISSER had to go to extra innings to snatch a victory…..this time it was a 10-8 eight inning win over TEAM LEFTON…..
Trailing 8-7 in the top of the seventh inning, they plated a run and then tallied two runs in the eighth frame to provide the winning margin…..
Aggressive base running by the WOLF clan, mainly FREDDIE…..SCOTT……WES…..TYLER was a key to the comeback……
It was a team effort , however the trio of MARK LEVINE, playing his first game after missing last week’s opener, SAM HELDMAN and DUFF WOLF provided the keys hits when needed and the defense again played a stellar game….MARK WEISSER started the winning rally with a bunt hit……BRAD WAGNER chipped in with a key base knock….TED KANTOR caught the only ball hit to him and ROGER ROSENTHAL played a solid second base…..

First captain to report in again is ADAM CRONSTEIN……

TEAM CRONSTEIN defeated TEAM LEADER, 15-5, in a five inning affair….

Key plays by rookie JORY ZOLA, filling in at third base and MICAH KAMRASS in left field, led the defense, while on offense, the 8-9-10 spots in the order were big keys as rookie NEIL NADEL went 3 for 3….JARED KAMRESS went 2 for 3 and the “cagey” old-timer ANDY HELDMAN, who seems like he’s been playing forever, went 3 for 3…..

The victors led 7-1 thru four innings as MIKE GRAY was able to control the big bats of perhaps the two best hitters in the league, ANTON LOON and RANDY BROYLES, however in the top of the fifth inning, TEAM LEADER pulled within two runs at 7-5, but in the bottom half of the inning, TEAM CRONSTEIN exploded for eight runs to notch the ten run rule victory…….

QUOTES AFTER THE GAME…..

“This the type of game I think we have. We aren’t a major power hitting team, but we’re going to put a lot of guys on base and we should be able to score a lot of runs with consistent top to bottom hitting,” CRONSTEIN said.

OF NOTE……it was the pitching debut of RANDY BROYLES and the jury is still out if he can pitch at this level of play……

PLEASE NOTE…….ANYONE can add to the BLOG not just the captain so feel free to contribute……..
