GAME REPORTS WILL BE REPORTED UPON RECEIVING THEM IN THE NEWSROOM……..
SCHWARTZ WINS…..BRAFMAN CONTINUES HOT ROLL………..
*First to report in is the TEAM SCHWARTZ 10-3 victory over TEAM HIUDT……hitting stars
included ZAC SWADNER, returning from a week off, with four hits and DAVID SOLOMON with
three hits…..HOWARD SCHWARTZ pitched a gem of a game while the defense was as solid as ever
with kudos to 2B ROGER ROSENTHAL, who tied a JCC record by recording three putouts in the
top of the first inning, all on pop ups…..the rest of the team contributed in one form or another either
on offense or defense…and included…..JERRY KIRZNER, MIKE ROTHSTEIN, PETE SPOERL,
DAVID WERTHEIM, CORY NORRIS and ALAN LESSURE……
In an odd way to end the game, an un-named player was caught leading off first base and was called
out for the final out of the game…….
**TEAM BRAFMAN continued with their winning ways as they won their fifth straight game, a 13-
7 victory over TEAM GREFER……the hitting stars were aplenty led by TYLER “THE BIG UNIT”
WOLF, who moved from the lead off spot to third in the batting order with a home run and triple,
GREG HARRIS went 5 for 5, PAT “SUNSHINE” FELDMAN had three RBI’s and “DUFFY” WOLF
had a couple of big knocks……
Once again, DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN” COHEN hustled out an infield hit for the second
week in a row to keep a big inning going…….
“I’m glad BRAFMAN finally woke up and realized I should be hitting third this entire season, “
TYLER WOLF said after the game. “I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season and showing
him what a clown he was for hitting me lead off.”
On the defensive side, WES WOLF, DAVID SNYDER, SCOTT WOLF, HARRIS and T. WOLF all
made plays to keep the opponents off the bases and the scoreboard……
“I continue to be impressed with our defense. To limit most teams to three outs per inning, it helps
“EPPY” (pitcher STEVE “AQUAMAN” EPPSTEIN because he knows all he has to do is throw
strikes and we’ll do the rest,” BRAFMAN said after the game.
EPPSTEIN continues to turn back the clock with another stellar game on the hill while also
contributing with a single….
“I give all the credit to the number of wings I eat post game and to DICK NICKELSON who has
continued to train me and keep me in shape this season. Without him I’d be lost on the mound, “
EPPSTEIN said after the game was scarfing down his 10th plate of wings.

Game Results: July 20, 2017
TEAM BRAFMAN CONTINUES ROLL……..TEAM GREFER NOTCHES VICTORY…..
*TEAM BRAFMAN overcame the absence of their top two picks, SS WES WOLF and LCF
PATRICK ‘BUN BUN” FELDMAN, as they defeated TEAM HIUDT, 16-13, to stay undefeated in
the second half…..
Everyone contributed with at least two hits, but a special shout out goes to old timer NORM
FRANKEL who had three hits and played a nice SS……DAVID “BP” SNYDER also had three hits
including a triple and not to be overlooked was the MEAT OF THE ORDER made up of SCOTT
WOLF, DUFFY WOLF, DAVID WEIL, DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN” COHEN and finally
STEVE “AQUAMAN” EPPSTEIN, who outraced the sun to score the final run of the game…..
“Playing without Wes and Pat, we knew we had to all step up and play well and that is exactly what
we did, ” BRAFMAN said in his post game comments in front of the media……”While we hit the ball
well, the turning point in the game was DAVE COHEN beating out an infield single to keep our top
of the sixth inning going. That play helped kick start our comeback and shows the grit and heart of
our team.” BRAFMAN concluded.
A special mention goes out to GREG HARRIS for his aggressive third base coaching and manning
the hot corner like a pro……
QUOTE OF THE GAME……….”We must be butter because we are on a roll,” a happy COHEN stated
after the game……
**TEAM GREFER defeated TEAM WEISSER, 8-7, in an eight inning affair…..the MVP goes to
ROBERT PELBERG who pitched a great game, made some tough defensive plays and had the game
winning walk-off hit…..other notables were JEFF WEISBROT, back from his journey in the
Maccabbia Games with three hits….BEN SANDOR with a great defensive play at 1B….ALBERT
WEISBROT with a key double and finally ALEX KRAUS with a lead off triple and scoring the
winning run……
