In what was a pitcher’s battle throughout most of the game between JIMMY LEFTON and JASON FAUST, the offense came alive for TEAM LEFTON in the bottom of the sixth inning as the winners plated eight runs as the bats came alive……everyone got in on the act, but the biggest hit came off the bat of veteran GARY FISHER, as he clubbed a line drive to right field that carried all the way to the fence for a three run blast….
After the game, FISHER said, “I hit a home run about every ten years and was glad it happened this evening to help our team win. I hit it right on the button and it just carried. I was at first thinking three base hit, but my third base coach sent me home. Boy was I tired.”
It should be noted that FAUST was playing hurt and re-injured his hamstring and later left the game during the big rally……
Other notable notes from this game didn’t actually happen in the game, but prior to the game as LEFTON forgot his game attire including his glove and shoes.
“I must have been thinking about a court case tomorrow and it slipped my mind. I felt bad, but knew I had to pitch a pretty good game to offset my forgetting my glove and shoes,” he said afterwards.
Thanks to the big feet of JEREMY FOGEL, he was able to loan him some shoes and a glove that fit.
“I’m glad I did my part in helping the team win,” FOGEL said after the victory.
TIDBITS…….
RON “THE ROCKET” NASSIF subbed for the first time in what seemed like an eternity…..he’s getting up in years, but still can play the game……
After the game, at the regular eating spot, ROGER ROSENTHAL, ZACH ZAKEM, RYAN BAUM and JERRY KIRZNER were in a great debate on what is more important, winning the tournament or winning the first and second half……your thoughts?
MARC BRAFMAN missed the opening round game as he had to attend school functions for his two children…..rumor has it, that he was actually tuned in via streaming and following his team and NOT listening to his children’s teachers……that’s a detention in my book!!!!!
