The BLOG usually does NOT give an opinion, but here’s one……

The JCC Softball League Commission has got to look at how the playoffs are set up……..Two suggestions…..

1. Take the top six teams and have the # 1 and # 2 seeds get first round byes…..

ROUND 1……
# 3 seed plays # 6 seed…………# 4 seed plays #5 seed…….

ROUND 2 (SEMI-FINALS)…..
# 1 seed then plays the lowest seed and the # 2 seed plays the highest seed…….

ROUND 3 (FINALS)…..
the winners then play for the tournament title……

2. Have it the way it is now, but re-seed after each round……….

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?????
