Wednesday May 27………10:57 p.m………TEAM WERNICK stayed undefeated with a victory over TEAM EPPSTEIN…….the tone was set in the top of the first inning as the victors plated nine runs and JOHN BERG pitched another gem of a game…….it was a total team effort on offense, but Rookie of the Year candidate, NICK RUEZSER, led the way…..did I mention he is my favorite player in the league (he’s a Cub fan, (Ryne Sandberg was is all-time favorite……he was my favorite too), but more importantly he is a XAVIER fan……….other game results as they become available (HINT…….captains/non-captains report the games to me)…………r.rosenthal@fuse.net……..
