Livingston Temple Softball League 06/14/15

Sharey Tefilo Israel (11-0) got off to a slow start this week but after 3 innings were all tied up at 9 with Pinebrook. From that point on TSTI outscored their opponents 8-0 for a 17-9 win. Shutting Pinebrook down was pitcher Mark Licht who had some great defensive plays. The offense was sparked by the hot hitting Jeff Becker who also made some tough line drive catches to help on the defensive side. Umpire Aaron Greenberg, despite being a little under the weather, called a great game and managed to hang in until the final out was recorded. Temple Sinai only had 9 players and Temple Sholom of West Essex took full advantage for their 4^th win of the season with good defense and a balanced attack. Scoring 4 runs in each of the 2^nd through 5^th innings and 8 in the 7^th TSWE defeated Temple Sinai 24-12 with everyone on the winning side getting at least one hit. B’nai Shalom got the best of B’nai Jeshurun in a low scoring affair by a 6-4 margin. Suburban Torah ended AABJD’s 5 game winning streak and now has the 2^nd longest current winning streak in the league with 4 in a row after their 22-18 victory.  

B’nai Brith (9-2) defeated B’nai Abraham 19-4 to remain tied for 1^st in the B division. Home runs by Andrew Kasdan and Ian Rappaport led the way. Steve Weiner also chipped in with a 2-3 performance. Chabad (9-2) broke open a close game with 15 runs in the 4^th inning on the way to a 24-8 win over Temple Emanu-El. In that inning Chabad had 2 doubles followed by 2 triples, a 3 run homer by Joe Boettinger and 2 hits for Mendy Kasowitz including a 2 run homer. Also, John Tishlas was 4-4 with 2 homeruns, 2 doubles and 5 runs scored and a great diving play in LC to pick off a line drive. Mike Giatto had 3 RBI’s, 3 hits including a triple. David Levine was 4-4. Eric Latzman had their final hit which was a 3 run blast. Ner Tamid was tied at 7 with Agudath Israel in the 4^th inning but CAI pulled away from there for a 15-9 win. On offense it was Greg Adlesberg (3-4, HR, 5 RBI’s), Glenn Lieberman (3-4), Charlie Kessler (3-3), James Gurland (2B, 2 RBI). B’nai Or (8-3) won their game against B’nai Israel 17-10 led by Jason Cohen (2B, HR, 5 RBI’S, 2 runs). Also, Craig Rosen had a bases clearing triple, Eric Axler scored 3 times and Scott Charles and Eric Scheingotz belted back to back homeruns. 12 of 13 of B'nai Or's batters scored at least one time. The last game in the B division saw Beth Shalom (8-3) outlasting AABJD/OHR Torah 15-14 in a game that looked like neither team wanted to win. Beth Shalom had a team record 5 homeruns but also an array of errors from their usually sure handed defense. Those mistakes were bailed out with 2 great tag plays at the plate by catcher Jeff Katz on throws from outfielders (Phil Sperling & Justin Friedman) and 3 line drive snares at 3rd (Jeff Wasserman) with the last one ending the game. TBS jumped out to a 5-0 lead but in 2 innings was down 6-5. A 6 run 3rd inning gave Beth Shalom the lead back and solo homeruns from Jon Arnold (3-3) and Zach Cohen put them ahead 13-10 after 5. In the 6th inning Phil Sperling (3 RBI's) had a 2 run homer to stretch it to 15-10 but AABJD/Ohr Torah came back with a 4 run rally which was cut short by Phil's running catch of a line drive in the left center - right center gap. TBS failed to score in the top of the 7th but 3 very hard hit balls in the bottom of the inning were turned into a 1-2-3 inning by the formerly challenged TBS defense. In a game with a lot more close plays than usual, veteran umpire Stu Spraggins got all the calls right as Beth Shalom held on 15-14.  In the win, Doug Netburn (2B, HR, 4 RBI's) and Steve Siegal (3-3, HR, 4 RBI's) led the offense.

Sharey Tefilo Israel (10-0) had all they could handle with Temple Sinai this past Sunday but still managed another win. TSTI only had a 1 run lead into the 7th inning as their opponents played solid defense and added timely hitting for the first 6 innings. The visiting Sharey Tefilo Israel added only 1 more run in the top of the 7th for a shaky 2 run lead at 12-10. But Temple Sinai failed to score in the bottom of the inning with a diving catch of a line drive over 3rd base by Carey Bayer ending it at that score. Consistent hitting continued for the winners from Jeff Becker, David Pressel and Dave Denenberg. Temple Sinai's makeup game was just as close against Pinebrook. TS scored 8 runs in the 5th inning and took a 5 run lead into the bottom of the 7th. No problem for Pinebrook who came up with 5 runs to force extra innings at 13-13. TS then scored 4 more in the 8th and Rick Teich's sliding catch in the outfield in the bottom of the 8th gave Temple Sinai the 17-14 win.  Pinebrook's  earlier game against B'nai Jeshurun saw them with an early 9-2 lead but B'nai Jeshurun fought all the way back for a 13-12 lead going into the bottom of the 7th. Winning it for Pinebrook (7-3) though was Amen Setrak's 2 run walk off homer with no outs in the home 7th. AABJD (7-3) won both games of their double header  defeating Temple Sholom 14-11 in the early game. TSWE was down 14-4 going into the 7th and managed to score 7 runs with 2 outs in the loss before they ran out of gas. In the first win, Jeff Falkenstein had a homer and 4 RBI's and Josh Kaplan had 2 RBI's. AABJD also got the better of B'nai Jeshurun by a 14-7 margin with Jeff Falkenstein adding 2 more triples. AABJD's 5 game winning streak is now the 2nd longest current streak in the league. Suburban Torah won their 3rd in a row after a 1-6 start defeating B'nai Shalom 22-1.

In the B division, B'nai Brith (8-2) maintained a share of 1st handling Agudath Israel 21-11. Chabad (8-2) kept pace with a 17-13 win over B'nai Or (7-3). A 9-2 lead after 3 innings for B'nai Or was not big enough to hold off Chabad who scored 7 in the 4th to tie it up. B'nai Or came back to go ahead 13-10 but 7 more runs in the top of the 7th put the game away at 17-13 for Chabad. B’nai Or has given up 38 runs to Chabad in 2 losses but against the rest of the B division are 7-1 giving up an average of only 8 runs per game. In the win, Peter Gelman was 5-5,  Micha Mandel had 4 RBI's, and Donny Kanovsky scored 3 times and had a terrific sliding / diving catch in left center. David Levine and Eric Latzman also had 3 hits each. Beth Shalom (7-3) defeated Ner Tamid 8-4 with both teams making great defensive plays. Beth Shalom pulled off 3 inning ending double plays and an 8-6-5 put out of a runner trying to stretch a double into a triple to kill a rally. Ner Tamid had an outfield assist also on a 10-5 put out at 3^rd with a perfect strike thrown from right field to get a runner that was trying to go 1^st to 3^rd on a single. Ner Tamid's only offense came from the Festa family with Father Ron getting a double, Adam adding 2 triples and Justin blasting a homerun. For Beth Shalom it started with back to back triples from Eli Montag and Neil Grossman who was 3-3 with 2 RBI's on the day.  Harris Kirsch had a double and 2 RBI's and Eli and Neil both scored twice in Beth Shalom's victory. Also, B'nai Abraham edged Temple Emanu-El 7-6 and AABJD/Ohr Torah defeated B'nai Israel 24-11.

Livingston Temple Softball League 05/31/15

For the 1^st time in a long time Sharey Tefilo Israel was losing a game going into the 5^th inning. Trailing 6-3 to Temple Sholom of West Essex a few long balls from David Pressel and Eric Rothfeld led to a 7 run top of the 5^th for TSTI as they outscored their opponents 13-2 in the final 3 frames. The 19-8 win lifted their A division leading record to 9-0.  Suburban Torah’s 24-9 victory over B’nai Jeshurun also gave them the 2^nd most runs scored in the A division. AABJD defeated Pinebrook 16-7. For the winners, Jeff Falkenstein had a homerun, Ariel Fournier had 3 RBI’s and Doni Israeli had 2 RBI’s. Also B’nai Shalom edged Temple Sinai 5-4.  

2^nd place in the A division is 2.5 games back while in the B division 6^th place is only 2 games back. There is a 3 way tie for 1^st at 7-2 after Chabad and B’nai Brith both lost this week. B’nai Or (7-2) got by Temple Emanu-El 15-11 for a share of 1^st place with a balanced attack. 10 players scored at least once while Adam Forman (4-4, 3 runs, 3 RBI’s) and Todd Gutkin (3 hits, 2 runs) led the way. Going into the top of the 7^th B’nai Or was ahead 15-6 but the E-Men scored 5 runs and had the bases loaded with the tying run at the plate before they made the final out. In a 10-10 tie through 4 innings in a back and forth game, B’nai Brith (7-2) scored 5 in the bottom of the 5^th for a 15-10 lead. But B’nai Israel’s pitcher, David Emma, and the defense held B’nai Brith scoreless for the last 2 innings. In the top of the 7^th Adam Katzman connected for a grand slam which led to the 18-15 victory for B’nai Israel. Agudath Israel (5-4) was ahead 10-6 after 2 innings and kept the lead the whole way as they defeated Chabad (7-2) by a score of 20-16.  For the winners, Grge Adelsberg was 3-5 with 2 HR’s, Steve Rosen was 4-4 and David Lurie 5-5. All 11 players on CAI scored at least 1 run. Notching their 1^st win was Ner Tamid in a 1 run game over AABJD/Ohr Torah. In the win, Mike Miller had a 2 run HR, 3 run triple and a nice running catch in center field. It still was not easy for Ner Tamid who had a 9-8 lead into the bottom of the 7^th but AABJD went down in order to give NT the victory. Finally B’nai Abraham got the best of Beth Shalom 16-9.
