Livingston Temple Softball League 04/16/17

Only 1 week late and opening day saw the two division champions from last year in a head to head battle. Last year's A division winners, Sharey Tefilo Israel had a 6-5 lead over the 2016  B champions B'nai Jeshurun after 4 innings. Then the bats heated up on both sides with B'nai Jeshurun pulling ahead for a 22-15 win. In their victory 13 players had at least 1 hit and 1 run and both Marc Weinstein and Eli Heitin had long homeruns. Chabad opened their season with an 8 run top of the 1st and proceeded to give up 9 in the 2nd inning to B'nai Brith. It was a close game the whole way but Chabad prevailed with a 17-13 victory. For the winners, Jon Tsihlas was 5-5 with 3 doubles and 4 runs. David Levine had an outfield assist, a single, double and long homerun in the 5th to put Chabad ahead for good.  Joe Boettinger  had 2 hits, 3 runs scored and an incredible diving catch to end a BB rally. In the loss, Don Newell led the offense with 4 hits and Gregg Weinberger blasted a 2 run homer. Pine Brook defeated Agudath Israel 13-7. For the losers, Mark Davis was 5-5 and Rob Field 4-5. In the closest A Division game of the day Temple Sinai nipped AABJD 20-19.

In the B division, Ner Tamid took a 9-3 lead after two innings behind Justin Festa's three-run homer (5 RBIs) and held on for the 9-7 win over Suburban Torah.  B'nai Or could do nothing wrong with 16 runs in the 1st 3 innings leading to a 21-4 win over B'nai Abraham. For the winners, Eric Axler had 2 homeruns and 5 RBI's, Rick Simon a triple and 4 RBI's, and Bill Schlosser a triple and 3 RBI's. Every one of the 12 starters scored at least 1 run and 10 different players had at least 1 RBI. Beth Shalom had a 9-4 lead over B'nai Israel after 5 innings but 11 runs in the top of the 7th capped off a great comeback giving B'nai Israel the 19-10 win. In the loss, assistant manager and bat boy Matthew Lipschitz' dad Josh was 4-4. Only 1 game next week which will be the regular schedule (4/23).

Livingston Temple Softball League 08/07/16

What seemed like the longest season we’ve ever had finally came to an end Sunday with perfect softball weather. In the A Division #1-#5 semi-final AABJD was down 6-3 in the 5^th inning in a game that looked like it could go either way. But as they usually do, Sharey Tefilo Israel found a way and scored 3 in the 5^th and 9 in the 6^th to win it 18-3. In the win, Mark Licht and Jason Grebin had 4 hits each while Steve Weissman and Dave Pressel had 3 apiece. The other semi-final was #2 Pine Brook vs. # 3 B’nai Brith and it was B’nai Brith jumping out early to a 9-0 lead. But Pine Brook closed the gap and made it close until a late surge in the visiting 6^th put BB up by 9 again as they held on for the 22-16 win. For BB, shortstop Alex Lee was 5-5 and 7 players on the team scored at least 2 runs. On defense Paul Veleleis made a lot of plays in the outfield to help hold off Pine Brook. In the A Division final STI jumped out to a 5-0 lead over BB and never looked back winning it 19-4. Ken Gorman led the attack with 4 hits. There were 3 hits each from Eric Rothfeld, Matt Katz, and Mark Licht. Jeff Becker had a homer in the win. On defense Eric Rothfeld threw out a runner at home from deep right field to end the 4^th inning. Jeff Gaier tagged out 2 runners at the plate.

In both B Division semi finals the visiting teams were giving away runs early. #3 B’nai Or fell behind #2 B’nai Jeshurun 10-1 after 1 inning and chased TBJ the whole game but slowly got it to a very tight 15-14 deficit while leaving the tying run at 3^rd in a 6 run 6^th inning. Final score TBJ 18, B’nai Or 16. Pitcher Scott Dodek had 4 hits for the winners. In the loss, Keith Barbarosh was 5-5 with a 2 run single, a run scoring triple, a 3 run homer and a grand slam (10 RBI’s). Jason Cohen had 3 hits and 4 runs. The other B Division semi final was #5 B’nai Israel vs. #8 AABJD/Ohr Torah and B’nai Israel had an early 7 run lead never looking back in a 16-9 win. In a very high scoring B Division final TBJ was ahead of B’nai Israel 20-15 in the bottom of the 6^th. They then proceeded to score 10 runs without recording an out. The final blow was a 2 run homer by Jason Miller to end the game. Also in the win, Dave Stecklowe scored 5 times and knocked a tape measure homerun that plated three. Final score TBJ 30, B’nai Israel 15.
