Team Lefton was in a word, Awesome! 7 orders of chicken wings! Every one crossed the plate. Weez had a couple of doubles, Dee Harris has 11 straight singles. When the chips were downed the bottom of the line-up came through and ordered some more!
Now on to the game. Team Lefton must love the heat, because they have won every game when the temperature at game time is above 90. It was a 10 run affair, a brutal unforgiving punishment to Team Kirzner. Why? In a word,PITCHING! It was sad to see. The many time All-Star Mark Weisser, just looked overwhelmed. The team provided outstanding defense at each position, for pitcher Weisser, too. Dee Harris of Team Lefton found the holes in the defense with 4 straight hits! He now has 11 straight hits in the last 2 games. Jumbo Lefton was super, he walked only one and struck out 6 with is new slider! Team Lefton now takes on the fading Team Gritty Grefer. Should be another slaughter! Stay tuned!

CFL -Reports Team Lefton Wins with Defense! 33-12
Mark Gordon, Big Gig, and Rick Lefton did not make an error in Sunday’s big win! The pitching was also a enormous edge, with Jumbo holding the opposition to just a baker’s dozen in runs.
Team Lefton has had the best July for wins in years. This has moved them away from “Pink Shirt” territory for good……. Maybe. Anyway, Team Lefton will now put the screws to Team Kirzner. A team with no pitching, defensive holes and slumber on their lumber. Should be a walk over or I buy the chicken wings!
ROGER’S HOT CORNER…………
Monday July 12…..11:27 a.m….ANTON LOOOOOON reports in on his team’s 4-3 victory over TEAM SCHWARTZ for their third win in a row with the return of MARK NEWMAN….BEN SHOTT had a key hit and played a solid 2B and BOB PELBERG pitched another solid game backed by a stellar defense and according to LOOOOOOOOOn is emerging as one of the top “young” pitching talents….catcher BRIAN MONK remarked after the game saying, “Bob and I are on the same page and I have helped shave three runs off his ERA since we started working together. We hope to shave more and more together with each passing outing.”……what is this a barbershop with all this shaving?????…..comments/quesitons……r.rosenthal@fuse.net……
ROGER’S HOT CORNER…………
Monday July 12…..10:14 a.m….No records reported on the whipping TEAM LEFTON gave to TEAM SILVERMAN, but one would figure a 33-12 score would yield a few…..to his credit captain RYAN SILVERMAN reported in after his team got clobbered (possibly a first for a losing captain to report in)….he gave credit where credit was due and just said, “they flat out took us to the woodshed and beat the crap out of us.”….hitting stars were aplenty (as one would imagine) as DEE HARRIS, TEDDY “BALLGAME” KANTOR, MARK “GORDY” GORDON and RICK SILVERMAN led the way…..SILVERMAN also added, “TEAM LEFTON has underachieved all year and they’re showing signs of life.”, this after beating two of the top teams in SILVERMAN and SCHWARTZ in back to back games….as for his team, RUSSELL WHITE and MARK LEVINE had key hits when the game was still close and DAVID “PETE ROSE” SNYDER is now two for two batting from the left side of the plate…..reports from the other three games hadn’t been reported as of press time……comments/questions…… r.rosenthal@fuse.net…….
