RECAPS OF GAMES OF APRIL 18………in the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

field # 4…….GROH………5………GREFER……….4……

REPORTED IN BY KEN GROH……..

TEAM GROH held off a late 6th inning four runs rally by TEAM GREFER to escape with a 5-4

victory……

Making his 2018 debut, RYAN SMALL had a bases loaded triple and later scored on a RYAN BAUM

grounder……with the game winner off the bat of DAVID WEIL after BAUM, TODD WASSERMAN

and JERRY KIRZNER had singles…….

MIKE GRAY and GROH were throwing up zeroes most of the game with great defensive gems by

MARC SIMONS, KYLE GREFER, TAYLOR SCHWARTZ (sub) and ADAM CRONSTEIN

however, TYLER STANSBURY was the defensive player of the game making several plays at

SS………

field # 3………SOLOMON 16……..BRAFMAN……….8……………

REPORTED BY MARC BRAFMAN…….

TEAM BRAFMAN lost a hard fought game vs TEAM SOLOMON…..

“I tip my cap to Stu’s (STU SOLOMON) team as they hit and field the ball well and Stu

(WEINSTEIN) kept us off balance all night,” BRAFMAN said afterwards.

The second year captain added, “We’ll rebound and get back on track next week.”

While the bats were mostly quiet, MIKE CREEMER, ERIC GRUEN, JEREMY CANTOR and

DAVE “THE MINISTER OF FUN” COHEN all collected their first hits of the young season…..

On defense, RILEY ABLE, JEREMY FOGEL, AARON COMPTON and LEON “THE BULL”

SESERMAN each contributed with nice plays….

JASON “THE MAD HUNGARIAN” FAUST had this to say after the game, “I’m basically a finesse

pitcher without the finesse.”…………EDITORS NOTE……typical JASON!!!!!!!!!

field # 1………..HIUDT……….13………..LEFTON……..12……….

REPORTED BY ROGER ROSENTHAL (TEAM LEFTON)…….

As they did last week, TEAM LEFTON fell behind big early in the game, but couldn’t repeat what

they did last week and came up one run short…..

Acting captain, RICK LEFTON said afterwards, “Tough game, but we never gave up. We kept

fighting.”

On offense, kudos go out to battery mates, catcher DAVID SOLOMON and pitcher MIKE

ROTHSTEIN……….

field #2…………LEADER…………9……….SCHWARTZ………7……..

REPORTED BY GREG LEADER………..

In a game that featured the league’s most veteran pitcher, HOWARD SCHWARTZ, and the newest

pitcher, DAN GREEN, the rookie came out on top in this one……

Aside from great pitching, the game featured fantastic defense by TEAM LEADER sparked by

spectacular plays by ALEX KRAUS at 2B and BOB PELBERG behind the plate…..

A trio of new and newly returning players, ERIC GOLDSTEIN, JONATHAN SMITH and RAFI

GOLDFARB were major contributors…….

The winning team was missing superstar ANTON LOOOOOOOOOOOOOON, but welcomed back

perennial All-Star RANDY BROILS, who was absent in the first week loss…..

“We’re looking forward to early May when both players will be on the field together,” said captain

GREG LEADER.
