TEAM WEISSER continued their winning ways by knocking off win less TEAM FOGEL…..after giving up three runs in the top of the 1st inning, the victors bounced back with a six spot and never looked back……
Highlights included…..WES WOLF, celebrating his birthday, had two home runs and could have had a third if not for him stopping between third and home….DUFF WOLF and son TYLER WOLF continued their hot hitting….MARK LEVINE, playing only his second game of the year, was solid behind the plate….ROGER ROSENTHAL got a double for the second straight game and was robbed of extra bases with the bases loaded by JEREMY FOGEL on an outfield gem…..BRAD WAGNER, SCOTT WOLF….MARK WEISSER….FREDDY WOLF….SAM HELDMAN all contributed in some way, while TEDDY KANTOR lined a shot to sub SS ZACH MAYER and was robbed of a hit…….

A BIT OF BAD NEWS…..

I thought it should be noted that former softballer DAVID SWILLINGER passed away recently….he was always a class act whenever I was around him and was a pretty darn good player as well…..

WINNERS/LOSERS FROM THIS EVENING…….GREFER/HIUDT……
LEFTON/FOGEL…..SCHWARTZ/LEADER……WEISSER/WEISBROT…..

In one of the more exciting games of the season, TEAM WEISSER remained undefeated with an unbelievable 14-12 eight inning victory over TEAM WEISBROT…..it was the second straight heart-breaking loss for TEAM WEISBROT…..

Trailing the whole game and down by two runs entering the top of the 7th inning, the victors tied it with two runs and then did a Houdini act by escaping what seemed like a sure loss situation in the bottom of the 7th inning when 3B BRAD WAGNER snared a sharp grounder off the bat of JEFF WEISBROT with runners on first and second and one out and turned it into an inning ending double play……one of three double plays started by WAGNER, who had a stellar performance……

In the top of the 8th inning, a huge two out two run hit by TYLER WOLF scored what proved to be the winning runs…….

Also, contributing to the win was pitcher and captain MARK WEISSER, who settled down after a rough first inning to tame the opposing bats…..DUFF WOLF, who caught another gem of a game and came up with some key hits again…..SAM HELDMAN, who made a game saving catch late in the game…..RYAN SMALL had four hits and played a stellar 1B……ROGER ROSENTHAL connected  on a key two run double over a pulled in outfield……WES WOLF was solid at SS and hit a HR….TED KANTOR collected a hit for the second straight week….SCOTT WOLF…..collected a key hit in the winning inning…..

On a sour note, ROSENTHAL, re injured a knee and will be looked at the team doctor in the next day or so……
