Thursday July 15….11:25 a.m….only one game report in at press time and that’s from STEVE “DONUT” EPPSTEIN as TEAM EPPSTEIN won only their second game of the season with a 10-7 victory over the fast fading TEAM CRONSTEIN…..hitting stars were ROOKIE OF THE YEAR candidate EVAN PIERSON who hit a three run homerun and was walked intentionally twice (he must lead the league in that category)….just call him Mr. Bonds…..other offensive contibutors came from SCOTT WOLF, DUFFY WOLF, TYLER WOLF, DOUG SANDOR and GLENN BOCHNER, who was returning from the DL….defensively the entire team played well including a nice catch by the aging SCOTT WOLF, who can still get them in the OF…..as for TEAM CRONSTEIN….the hitting woes continued with the exception of veteran DAN CRONSTEIN, who went 4 for 4….rumor has it that rookie captain ADAM CRONSTEIN’S patience is running thin and was talking afterwards about going to a voodoo doctor for help to get his offense in gear……stay tuned…..TIDBITS…..a HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to ADAM CRONSTEIN today….how old he is and how old he feels are two different numbers after another loss…..questions/comments to r.rosenthal@fuse.net…………

Thursday July 15……11:37 a.m…….TEAM GREFER came back for the second straight game with an exciting 7-6 victory over TEAM SILVERMAN…..avenging a loss in the first half, TEAM GREFER rallied from a 6-3 deficit in the bottom of the 7th inning as they capitalized on a couple of errors and MIKE SMALL won it with a two-run walk-off triple…kudos go to JOSH LISMAN of TEAM SILVERMAN with three hits and a sterling defensive play….questions/comments….. r.rosenthal@fuse.net………..

Thursday July 15……4:27.m…..this edition of ROGER’S HOT CORNER is brought to by BRANDON GUTTMAN……BG had been good all season about reporting his team’s recaps, but has slacked off lately and has been fined by the BLOG POLICE…..here is an update on their last three games……all victories……last Wednesday night, they whipped up on TEAM EPPSTEIN, 10-3, as SCOTT”SHORTY”ADAMS kept up his All-star calliber year and ABE “ILITY” DAHAN continued his hot hitting with line drives and bunts….kudos go to EVAN PIERSON who recorded a triple play, by catching a fly ball, and probably could have done it unassisted, but gave a little love to his teammate at first base to complete the rare play….Sunday morning…..TEAM GUTTMAN beat TEAM KIRZNER, 10-7, where hitting stars were the HIUDT brothers, ZAC “HYPHE” and JOEY” WHEELS” who each went 3 for 4….last night, they defeated TEAM SCHWARTZ, 8-1, as “WHEELS” HIUDT went 3 for 4 with a stolen base and two runs scored….”SHORTY” ADAMS, labelled by his captain as a “table setter extraordinaire” was 2 for 2 and a walk and two runs scored and “BGUTT” GUTTMAN was 3 for 3 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base, two runs scored and three RBI’s…..he also sold popcorn at the snack bar between at bats while keeping his up to date stats (BEST IN THE LEAGUE)….however, the Player Of The Game was “SUPER” STU WEINSTEIN, seen hobbling after the game, giving up only one run on virtually one leg…..with a torn calf muscle that will require off-season surgery delivered “one of the gutsiest performances ever witnessed on JCC softball turf” according to BG…….”SUPER” went 2 for 4 with three RBI’s and a fan in the stands was heard saying, “You just witnessed the greatest hitter in the history of the JCC softball league do what he does best”….questions/comments to r.rosenthal@fuse.net…….
