RECAPS FROM ACTION LAST NIGHT……

*GROH 20

LEFTON 10

reported by KEN GROH……

“We took advantage of a depleted team, ” said winning captain KEN GROH.

Indeed they did as TEAM LEFTON were missing three top line players, but give credit to the victors

as they stayed in the hunt for first place in the first half…..

Offensively, JAMES SWAN, PAT FELDMAN, RYAN SMALL and RYAN BAUM all had three hits

and ADAM CRONSTEIN, NICK DEPIANO, TODD WASSERMAN, JERRY KIRZNER and

DAVID WEIL added two hits apiece…..

Both TYLER STANSBURY and SMALL hit home runs while driving in three and five runs,

respectively….JERRY KIRZNER, the oldest player in the league, but still playing well, had three

RBI’s including the game winner…..

SIDE NOTE……..BRAD GALLOP, son of EDDIE GALLOP, hurt himself in a slide into second

base…….here’s hoping he is OK and will be ready for the next game……

IN OTHER ACTION……….

**BRAFMAN 5

LEADER 4

reported by MARC BRAFMAN……..

The victors rallied for four runs in the bottom of the 6th inning and held on for the victory over the

first place TEAM LEADER…..

“There are certain games that stick with you during the years of JCC softball and last night was one

of those,” BRAFMAN said the day after…..

The rally was led by JOEL “THE WRATH OF” KAHN’s three run monster home run which gave the

victors the lead, 5-4, entering the last inning…….

JASON “THE MAD HUNGARIAN” FAUST, found a way to pitch out of a bases loaded one out

situation to record the win….

“Softball us 90% mental and the other half physical”, the winning pitcher said afterwards. “I’m glad

that I was able to physically let out a triple and mentally buckle down to get us out of the 7th inning.

Now if I could only learn how to catch the ball with my glove, ” he added……

Along with KAHN’s heroics, AARON COMPTON had two hits, DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN”

COHEN legged out an infield single and MIKE “BOLT” CREEMER had a big two out single and

double to pace the offense……

“Like most games this season, we flashed the leather and tonight was no exception,” BRAFMAN

added.

LEON “THE BULL” SESERMAN turned a 5-4 double play and also made a throw to first base from

his back…..”It’s amazing how much those TOM EMANSKI videos help,” the rookie said afterwards.

He added, “It doesn’t hurt that my roommate TAYLOR (SCHWARTZ) and I play soft toss before our

mid-day nap each day.”

Not to be outdone, the double play combo of ERIC GRUEN and COMPTON also made both hard

and routine plays look easy…..GRUEN pointed out afterwards, “Aaron and I have the same amount of

errors playing SS over the last two games.”

And of course, JEREMY “HAMILTON” FOGEL continues to amaze in LCF as he robbed RAFI

GOLDFARB of extra bases with a catch in the gap on a ball that almost took his glove off……..

finally………..

***GREFER 12

HIUDT 2

reported by KYLE GREFER……

MIKE GRAY pitched a three hitter and had a home run and led the offense as the entire team

contributed and the defense was anchored by the strong infield of DAN GREFER, JEFF

FINKELSTEIN and DAVID “DEE” HARRIS…..
