Game Results: August 8, 2013
TEAM SCHWARTZ defeated TEAM CRONSTEIN, 4-3, to wrap up the second half championship…..the victors trailed 3-2 going into the top of the 7th inning only to score two runs and hold on for the victory….it was a total team effort, however extra kudos go out to RON ‘THE ROCKET” NASSIF, STU LAVENDA, ANDY HELDMAN and MICHAEL ASKIN for their play on offense, defense or in some cases both……it should also be noted that the ageless wonder RON ROSE, at age 83, played a stellar game behind the plate and is the oldest player in CINCINNATI JCC softball history to win a championship….How about that?????

TEAM ROSENTHAL finally turned the tables last night as they were on the winning end of a walk-off victory…….after two walk-off losses this season, they defeated TEAM GREFER, 9-8, in a thriller…..
TEAM GREFER, behind the fine pitching of JAMIE KURTZER, built a 7-2 lead after 4 1/2 innings only to see the victors scrap back into the game by scoring four runs in the next two innings to make the score, 7-6, going into the final frame……after a Brandon LeBeau homerun extended the lead to 8-6, TEAM ROSENTHAL came back with a three spot in the bottom of the inning off relief ace KEN GROH, in large part by a “huge” base knock off the bat of DEE HARRIS that scored the tying run and then JOEL “SPARKY” FOGEL, fresh off a West Coast vacation, winning the game on a groundout to the right side that scored “courtesy” runner PETE SPOERL, running for the injured ROGER ROSENTHAL……
NEXT WEEK……WEATHER PERMITTING, THE SECOND HALF WILL BE COMPLETED WITH A MAKE-UP DATE, FOLLOWED BY THE PLAY-IN GAME (TEAM ROTHSTEIN VS. TEAM LEADER)……AND THEN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS………STAY TUNED!!!!!
