TEAM CRONSTEIN NIPS TEAM GREFER IN SEASON OPENER…….

TEAM CRONSTEIN defeated TEAM GREFER, 5-4, in walk-off style as the rookies were instrumental in the win…..trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the seventh inning and JAMIE KURTZER, in what seemed like control of the game, the victors tallied three runs to gain the win…..
DAN LAUDERMILK was 3 for 3 with a triple, stolen base and two runs scored including the game winner….JORY NOLA got a game tying two run single in the seventh inning……NEIL NADEL was  1 for 2 and caught a beautiful game thrown by wily veteran pitcher MIKE GRAY….and last, but not least, CRAIG SAREMBOCK went 2 for 3 and had the walk off double to deep center field…..

QUOTES AND MORE QUOTES…..

Captain ADAM CRONSTEIN remarked, “Our game was an exciting one. Collectively we had some trouble offensively for most of the game. JAMIE (Kurtzer) kept us off balance and the sun was an issue for some at the plate.”

He added, “The story of the game was the rookies.”

With the softball season about a month away, there are still openings in the league……If YOU or someone YOU know would like to play, have them contact MIKE CREEMER at the JCC or register on the JCC website…..

There will be a few new faces (some returning from past years), a few rookies and a few faces not coming back, but overall, it looks like a great group of players…..

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!

If you haven’t read the article about our own RON ROSE in the Feb. 18 copy of the American Israelite, do yourself a favor and do so…..

Former softballer JUSTIN BERG, son of longtime star JOHNNY BERG, is now writing for the newspaper doing sports articles….

There are interesting stories about the “ageless wonder” that very few probably knew about, a.k.a. the story about what Hall of Fame baseball player took ROSE out for lunch…..and what sport ROSE captained in high school….it might surprise you…..

Kudos again to JUSTIN BERG for writing a home run of an article about one of our own……RON ROSE……
