JCC Softball Cincinnati

First captain to report in again is ADAM CRONSTEIN……

TEAM CRONSTEIN defeated TEAM LEADER, 15-5, in a five inning affair….

Key plays by rookie JORY ZOLA, filling in at third base and MICAH KAMRASS in left field, led the defense, while on offense, the 8-9-10 spots in the order were big keys as rookie NEIL NADEL went 3 for 3….JARED KAMRESS went 2 for 3 and the “cagey” old-timer ANDY HELDMAN, who seems like he’s been playing forever, went 3 for 3…..

The victors led 7-1 thru four innings as MIKE GRAY was able to control the big bats of perhaps the two best hitters in the league, ANTON LOON and RANDY BROYLES, however in the top of the fifth inning, TEAM LEADER pulled within two runs at 7-5, but in the bottom half of the inning, TEAM CRONSTEIN exploded for eight runs to notch the ten run rule victory…….

QUOTES AFTER THE GAME…..

“This the type of game I think we have. We aren’t a major power hitting team, but we’re going to put a lot of guys on base and we should be able to score a lot of runs with consistent top to bottom hitting,” CRONSTEIN said.

OF NOTE……it was the pitching debut of RANDY BROYLES and the jury is still out if he can pitch at this level of play……

TEAM WEISSER defeated TEAM SCHWARTZ, 5-4, in an eight inning affair….

After sitting out last year with an injury, HOWARD SCHWARTZ pitched like he didn’t miss any time as he held TEAM WEISSER to only one run in the first five innings only to have them erupt for three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning…..however, TEAM SCHWARTZ tied it in the top of the seventh inning only to have the victors win it in the bottom of the eighth inning……

It was a total team effort for the victors as all of the WOLFS…..SCOTT, DUFF, WES, TYLER and FREDDIE all came up with key base knocks and defensive plays especially WES who made some unbelievable plays at shortstop….other highlights included spectacular defense by COMMISSIONER BRAD WAGNER and a couple of key hits….captain MARK WEISSER was in command not walking anyone, while SAM HELDMAN came thru with a huge assist in the outfield by gunning down speedy ZACH SWADNER at second base trying to stretch a single into a double at a key spot in the game…..RYAN SMALL hit lead-off and got things going in the game-winning eighth inning and played a flawless first base….

In addition, ROGER ROSENTHAL played a solid second base, while TEDDY KANTOR, led the way with his veteran presence……
