Livingston Temple Softball League 08/03/14
Temple Sinai did what no team had been able to do for
the last 2 months - hold Sharey Tefilo Israel to under 15 runs. But it was
still not enough for the win with TSTI completing their undefeated 17-0 season in
a 13-6 championship game victory. The game started slowly with TSTI up 3-0
after 1 inning. In the bottom of the 2nd the score was still 3-0 and Temple
Sinai got the first 2 Sharey Tefilo Israel batters out but the flood gates
opened and TSTI scored 7 runs before making the 3rd out. With a comfortable 10-0
lead they coasted to the 13-6 win. TSTI has now won 21 games in a row and this
was their 3rd A division title and 4th overall. They are the only team aside
from Temple Emanu-El to win consecutive A division titles but still trail the
E-men who have claimed 5 championships.
B'nai Brith was the home team in the B division championship
game and Suburban Torah took advantage by scoring 4 in the top of the 1st.
After failing to score in the bottom of the inning BB gave up 2 more runs to ST
to go down 6-0. Wayne Neumann blasted a 2 run triple on the way to a 3 run bottom
of the 2nd but that was as close as BB would get all day. By the bottom of the
7th ST had opened up an insurmountable 13-4 lead with the game ending at 13-7.
Pitcher Mike Wengrofsky had the B'nai Brith batters off balance all game while
Jeff Suskind turned 2 double plays at SS and hit for the cycle. Seth Leeds was
4-4 in the win. This was Suburban Torah's 2nd B division title (2003) and that
ties B'nai Abraham for most B division titles. Moving up to the A division next
season will be Temple Sholom of West Essex and Suburban Torah. Dropping to the
B division will be Temple Emanu-El and B'nai Abraham.

Livingston Temple Softball League 07/27/14
The defending champions were down 8-0 before they even
blinked as B'nai Shalom started quickly in the first inning of an A division
semi final. The 8 runs to begin the game were twice as many as B'nai Shalom had
scored against Sharey Tefilo Israel in 14 innings prior. But there was no panic
in TSTI as they came back with 5 in the bottom of the inning and tightened up
the defense to allow B'nai Shalom only 3 more runs to the bottom of the 4th.
That's when TSTI exploded for 6 runs to take a 14-11 lead. B'nai Shalom was
held scoreless the rest of the way and Sharey Tefilo Israel added 7 more for
the 21-11 victory. Mike Somekh and Jason Grebin led the offense while Corey
Feigenbaum and Dave Denenberg made key defensive plays for the winners. In the
other semi final #6 seed Temple Sinai defeated #2 seed B'nai Jeshurun 6-5 one
week after knocking off the #3 seed. They now face the #1 seed TSTI (16-0) in
the final next Sunday. Only two #6 seeds have reached the finals in the A
division so far. In 2004 #6 B'nai Or lost to #4 Sharey Tefilo Israel. But in
2011 #6 B'nai Shalom defeated #1 Lubavitch Center (now Chabad).
Top seeded in the B division was Temple Sholom of West
Essex but despite turning 2 double plays and Brian Frese (3-3, 3 RBI's), Glenn
Lieberman (3-3), and Ben Taylor with a 2 run triple, the #1 seeded team lost to
#5 Suburban Torah 12-8. In the other
semi final of the B division, #2Agudath Israel had a 2 run lead going into the
top of the 7th. For #3B'nai Brith Ian Rappaport led off with a single followed
by singles from Jared Resnick and Jason Crimmins which tied it up at 8. After 1 out Paul Velelis was knocked in by Ira
Perlstein and Steve Miller's sac fly drove in the 4th run of the inning giving
BB a 10-8 lead into the bottom of the 7th. CAI got one run across after 1 out
but left the tying and winning runs on base to fall 10-9. B'nai Brith's defense was outstanding in the
win led by pitcher Howie Jacobs, 3rd baseman Ken Merber and especially right
fielder Andrew Kasdan who made a highlight reel catch early and threw a runner
out at 3rd base later ending a CAI rally. For Agudath Israel Charlie Kessler
was 2-3 with a double and sac fly for 3 RBI's. Greg Adelsberg had 3 hits and 2
RBI's while staying in the game with a pulled quad. Paul Aronoff and Joe
Kelmanovich also had 3 hits each. It was B'nai Brith's 2nd consecutive come
from behind 1 run victory and now they face Suburban Torah in the B division
final with the winner moving up to the A division. The teams have met twice this
season and BB has won both times.
