Two members of TEAM CRONSTEIN (NOT ADAM) reported in with their version of their 7-5 victory over TEAM GUTTMAN…..the following is a combination of both reports…….
First, it should be noted they’re the #1 seed for the upcoming tournament with an overall record of 11-5, but didn’t win either half……
In last night’s thriller, RABBI YITZI hit a home run and played solid defense, ADAM CRONSTEIN made a nice diving catch, MICHAEL ASKIN made a nice over the shoulder catch of a BRANDON GUTTMAN drive, JEFF “LITTLE FINK” FINKELSTEIN made some dazzling plays at SS reminding Cincinnati Reds fans of BARRY LARKIN……and finally, KEN GROH held the opposition scoreless the final five innings…..the MVP candidate was 11-2 for the season (take that JASON FAUST) and ended up hitting .700 (35 for 50) over the campaign……..

The play-in game between # 9 seed TEAM WEISBROT and # 8 seed TEAM ROSENTHAL is scheduled for this Sunday at 9:30 a.m……….

The tournament starts Wednesday night with the following match-ups…….

*#1 TEAM CRONSTEIN vs WINNER OF PLAY-IN GAME (WEISBROT VS. ROSENTHAL)

CONGRATS TO TEAM LEFTON IN WINNING THE SECOND HALF CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!

They defeated TEAM ROSENTHAL in a tight game, while TEAM CRONSTEIN defeated TEAM GUTTMAN.
Both LEFTON and CRONSTEIN each ended with 6-2 records, but the first tie-breaker, head to head, went to LEFTON…….

FYI………

TEAM LEADER defeated TEAM LEFTON, 25-12, in a five inning affair, preventing them from clinching the first half title……captain GREG “SPIDERMAN” LEADER reports the team hit an amazing .725 in the game (29-40) which included an unnamed player (I know who you are) who normally plays first base and is tall and is……..NOT wearing his team shirt which meant an automatic out…….super star ANTON LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON had to leave the game after only three batters due to a dislocated middle finger on his right hand, but the team rallied in a BIG way after spotting TEAM LEFTON with a 6-0 lead, to come back and make a rout of the game…….hitting stars were MATT STEINBERG, with two triples and six RBI’s, SCOTT BERGE, 5 for 5 and JERRY KIRZNER, 4 for 4…….

Early reports are that LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON will miss 1-2 weeks, but knowing him, he’ll be ready come tournament time…..

TEAM LEFTON will have another chance to clinch the second half and a possible # 1 seed vs TEAM ROSENTHAL, who is fighting to stay out of the play-in game…….the game can be seen on ESPN U with yet to be named guest commentator……..

TEAM WEISBROT, fighting to stay out of the play-in game, defeated TEAM WAGNER, 15-14, by scoring the winning runs in the bottom of the 6th inning, thanks in a large part to COREY SCHWARTZ’S grand slam…….down 9-1 early on, the victors chipped away at the lead until the 6th inning and then thanks to key defensive plays by TODD WASSERMAN and MARK LEVINE, held on for the victory……

Next week’s games all have a bearing on either the play-in game, the second half title and/or the top seed in the tournament…..
