TEAM CRONSTEIN has strung two victories together as they defeated TEAM WAGNER, 10-9 last Wednesday evening, in stunning fashion by plating four runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to snare victory from the jaws of defeat……key hits came off the bats of captain ADAM CRONSTEIN (4-4), MATT STEINBERG (HR) , EVAN COHEN (game tying 2B, 2 RBI) and the game winning base knock from JOEL KAHN……on Sunday morning, with the score tied at 9-9 in the top of the 7th inning, they exploded for four runs to knock off TEAM LEFTON, 13-9, as ageless wonder and now health food nut, STEVE EPPSTEIN, started the rally with one out with a “rocket” up the middle that started a string of hits capped by a bases loaded clearing triple by rookie TAYLOR SCHWARTZ…..DAN “THE BEARD” STEINBERG and MARC “THE MACHINE” TESSEL have contributed all season with hits and defensively, the younger STEINBERG gunned down the “speedy” JERRY KIRZNER and SCHWARTZ has made some web gem catches in the outfield……..

QUOTES….
“The team has really started to hit their stride now that we have all our pieces in place after missing several key players throughout the first half of the season,” Cronstein said after the latest win.
“I think we’re really poised to make a strong run throughout the second half and maybe even, dare I say it, the playoffs,” he added.
It should be noted NO CRONSTEIN team has ever made it out of the first round in any of his years as a captain. Could this be the year????  STAY TUNED!!!!

First to report in of course is TEAM ROSENTHAL…….behind the nice pitching of JASON “MVP” FAUST, TEAM ROSENTHAL defeated the previously undefeated TEAM GREFER, 12-7, hitting stars were aplenty for the victors as DAN GLASSMAN led the way with a three-run homerun and XAVIER HALL OF FAMER PETE SPOERL collected three hits and was robbed of a fourth hit when he smoked a line drive that was caught by pitcher JAMEY KURTZER……the defense was splendid, save one inning, when captain ROGER “ROGZILLA” ROSENTHAL had a couple of miscues and pulled himself from the game……
