First to report in……again!

TEAM WEISSER continued their winning ways by improving their record to 4-0 with a 14-8 victory over TEAM GREFER…..the game was somewhat close until the final frame when the victors exploded for seven runs to put the game away despite an attempted comeback by TEAM GREFER……
It was a total team effort in the win, but standout performances were turned in by captain and pitcher MARK WEISSER, who pitched a solid game and came through with some key two out hits….”DUFF” WOLF was stellar behind the plate and had some key hits along the way including a three run single……BRAD WAGNER, WES WOLF (home run), FREDDIE WOLF, SAM HELDMAN and SCOTT WOLF all had solid games in the field and at the plate….rounding out the team effort was RYAN SMALL, back after a two game absence, and ROGER ROSENTHAL all contributed by collecting some hits and playing a good defense and finally TEDDY KANTOR legged out his first hit of the season by hitting a ball to left field and beating the throw by a half a step……but that’s TEDDY being TEDDY………

In what was by far the most exciting game of the evening, two powerhouse teams went at it and when the dust cleared, TEAM LEADER defeated TEAM WEISBROT, 15-14, in walk off style in eight innings….
The win was set up in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 14-13, with runners on 2nd and 3rd when JEFF WEISBROT decided to walk sub YITZ CREEGER to load the bases and set up a put up or shut up moment for long time veteran DOUG SANDOR…..he came through in a BIG way as he crushed a line drive up the middle off another veteran of many years, STEVE EPPSTEIN, to score the tying and winning runs that set off a celebration for the victors……
Even though a lot of runs were scored, it should be noted, second-year player, RANDY BROYLES, pitching his first season, had multiple strikeouts and EPPSTEIN had NO walks……

AGAIN A REMINDER……WE HAVE GAMES THIS SUNDAY STARTING AT 9:30 A.M.
