2015 Championship Game

Under sunny skies and comfortable temperatures, #4 seed TEAM WEISSER defeated #2 seed TEAM GREFER, 8-7, in the championship game of the league tournament…..

In a nail bitting win, the victors jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening frame only to have TEAM GREFER come back with two runs in the bottom to the inning to make it 3-2.

The lead extended to 8-3, however TEAM GREFER cut it to 8-7 going into the last inning thanks in a large part to key hits from RICK TENENHOLTZ and ROOKIE OF THE YEAR candidate RYAN SMALL…..

After shutting them down in the top of the inning, they had the 11, 1 and 2 hitters coming up only to come up just short after super sub “GRIFF” HARRIS got as far as third base with two outs, but a line drive hit by #3 hitter PAT FELDMAN settled into the glove of RF BRIAN GOLDBERG to clinch the victory and set off the celebration.
