First to report in from Sunday morning games is GREG LEADER as TEAM LEADER eeked out a 6-5 victory over TEAM ROTHSTEIN…..stellar defense and a well pitched game by BARRY KAPLAN were the keys to the victory…..ANTON LOOOOOOOON, now playing shortstop, provided some offensive punch with a homerun and BRIAN MONK got a key bases loaded hit…….for the losing team, captain MIKE ROTHSTEIN continued his hitting prowless with a three run homerun, while STEVE “THE DONUT MAN” EPPSTEIN pitched a solid game….

TEAM SCHWARTZ defeated TEAM GREFER, 4-3, in a defensive game as great defensive plays turned in by the victors came from JOSH LISMAN, ZACK SWADNER and AARON COMPTON……a key double play turned in by SWADNER at third base and LISMAN at first base kept the tying run from scoring…….SCOTT WOLF had one of two key hits as he tripled and picked up the key RBI’s and the other came off the bat of rookie JACK COHEN, who drove in the winning run…..

TEAM LEADER got back in the winning column with a 14-6 or 14-7 victory over TEAM WAGNER (which score is right gentlemen????……after a rough start, a 6-0 defecit, BARRY KAPLAN shut down a “potent” offense, thanks to some good defense and his team’s bats got going as BRIAN MONK, JOHNNY BUBLICK, MARK LEVINE, JOEY GOLDBERG and of course, ANTON LOOOOOOOOOON got key base knocks……the game ball went to rookie sensation BUBLICK who had a huge day at first base in the field as well……next up for TEAM LEADER is TEAM ROTHSTEIN, a game that will be televised on the Atlantic 10 network, while TEAM WAGNER plays TEAM WEISBROT on ESPN 2 following the Sports Reporters…..the main topic on that show will be if women should be allowed to play in the all men’s JCC Softball League…….STAY TUNED…….

Other games were NOT reported……..SORRY!

TIDBITS………Rookie Night was Wednesday night and a shoutout goes to GREG “GIGGY” FRANKLIN…a.k.a. “CFL”, BRAD “WAGS” WAGNER” and RYAN KIRZNER for organizing it…….

In a battle for first place, TEAM GUTTMAN, now 5-1, behind the pitching of JASON “BIG HAUS” FAUST, and some stellar defense including a nice catch in the outfield by captain BRANDON “BG” GUTTMAN, defeated TEAM WEISBROT, now 3-2, 10-5……..hitting stars for the victors were………RON “THE ROCKET” NASSIF, 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBI’s, BRIAN “THE VERSATILE” GOLDBERG, 2 for 4 with two runs, BRANDON “BE LB” LEBEAU, 2 for 4 with a 2B, 3B, one run and two RBI’s…… the defensive play of the game was turned in by JOSH FRANKEL, when he gunned down “THE ROCKET” at the plate on a perfect strike to DAVID WEIL…… the BIG key to the game in the eyes of this blogger, was when TEAM WEISBROT was mounting a comeback and couldn’t score any more runs with NO outs and the bases loaded……TEAM GUTTMAN seems to be in the driver’s seat, but remember this is the JCC softball league……..STAY TUNED!!!!!!

TEAM WEISBROT, 3-1, continued their winning ways with their third consecutive victory setting up next week’s clash vs. TEAM GUTTMAN, 4-1, by beating TEAM ROTHSTEIN, 6-4, in a well pitched and defensive game……STEVE “DONUT MAN” EPPSTEIN and COREY NORRIS combined to pitch well for the losing squad, while winning pitcher MIKE GRAY pitched perhaps one of his better games ever and played his position well…..hitting stars for the winners were captain JEFF WEISBROT and DANNY “BOBCAT” SCHAAFF…….defensively, NORMAN FRANKEL, playing 2B, was solid……Afterwards, MICHAEL ROTHSTEIN, 3 for 3 at the plate, commented, “We just couldn’t string enough hits together to get a big inning going. While everyone played good defense, kudos to MIKE GRAY and NORM FRANKEL who were outstanding.”……Game time next week for the WEISBROT/GUTTMAN clash is 6:16 p.m. with ESPN coverage beginning with a special at 5:30 p.m……..JEFF NASH of TEAM GUTTMAN and ROGER “ROGZILLA” ROSENTHAL were spotted at a local establishment last night already talking trash to one another…….STAY TUNED!!!!!!
