B’nai Jeshurun is having no problem with the move up from B to A.  They are now tied for 1^st at 4-2 with Chabad and Sharey Tefilo and are the only team in the A division to have scored over 100 runs so far. They won the opener over Sharey Tefilo Israel Sunday by a 20-17 margin in an 8 inning game before losing the 2^nd to Pine Brook 15-14. B’nai Brith got their first win of the season yesterday and kept it going by sweeping both ends of their DH. In the 1^st game, Chabad took an early lead against BB in the first inning when Dave Levine hit a three-run homer into the woods at the Harrison school field. Chabad added to this total over the next two innings, taking a 6-0 lead into the top of the 4th inning. B'nai B'rith, which only had one hit up to that point, proceeded to bat around their order scoring nine runs taking a 9-6 lead enroute to an 18-11 victory. In game two, B'nai B'rith once again overcame an early deficit. After AABJD scored three runs in the top half of the first inning, Alex Lee started the comeback for B'nai B'rith by leading off the bottom of the first with a home run. B'nai B'rith scored three more times for a 4-3 lead on the way to a 16-10 win. Other notable standouts for BB were Gary Lubin and Paul Velelis who both hit triples and home runs, and Jared Resnick who also hit a home run to pad the lead for B'nai B'rith's second victory of the day, and the season. Agudath Israel split their two games defeating Pine Brook 20-9 led by Paul Aronoff who was 5-5 with a HR, They fell to STI 15-10 in the 2nd and Charlie Kessler was 4-4 in the loss.
