Week 2 Writeup 4/20/14

Livingston Temple Softball League 04/20/14

Sharey Tefilo Israel continued to roll with a 29-12 win over B'nai Abraham.  TSTI had a 19-1 lead before B'nai Abraham came back with a 10 run 4th inning but it was too big a deficit to overcome. In the win at Okner, Carey Bayer hit the wall for a triple and Steve Weisman led the defense with a stellar play.  TSTI has now won their first 2 games by an average score of 19 runs. B'nai Shalom notched their first win but it took 8 innings. They were ahead by 9-3 into the bottom of the 6th but Temple Sinai scored 6 to tie it up. Greg Frankel's 2nd homerun of the day gave them a 1 run lead in the top of the 7th but Sinai came right back to tie it up again. In the 8th it was an RBI single by Bennett Schwartz and a 2 run double by Keith Bader setting up the 13-11 win for B'nai Shalom. In the victory both Harry Katz and Mike Volpe were 3 for 4 while Larry Prince had a big 2 run triple. AABJD showed they belong back in the A division defeating Temple Emanu-El  26-16.  For the winners, Jay Gertleman had a 2 run homer, Rafi Abromowitz had a 3 run homer, and Ariel Fournier had a 2 run homer. Also, 4 RBI's each for Andrew Israeli and Josh Kaplan. The final game in the A division saw B'nai Jeshurun beat Pine Brook 11-6.  
Temple Sholom of West Essex has established themselves as the clear favorite in the B division after winning their 2nd game in a row by at least 15 runs. This time it was a 22-7 win over Chabad. Every player on Temple Sholom had at least one hit with Glenn Lieberman and Jeff Goldberger both 3-3. The team was solid defensively and for the 2nd game in a row first baseman Dan Natt turned an unassisted double play.  
In a close high scoring affair Beth Shalom outlasted B'nai Brith 21-17. Jared Resnick started things off for B'nai Brith with a 3 run homer in the first. After Wayne Neumann's 2 run triple climaxed an 8 run 9 hit 4th inning barrage B'nai Brith had a 17-10 lead. But BB would not score again and Beth Shalom opened the bottom of the 6th inning with a lead off triple by Harris Kirsch followed by 8 consecutive hits for 9 runs to take a 21-17 lead into the final frame.  Zach Cohen (double), Doug Netburn (triple), Jeff Wasserman, Neil Grossman, and Aaron Attermann (triple) all had 3 hits. Agudath Israel vs. Suburban Torah was a seesaw battle starting with a 2 run homer by Scott Reis for CAI in the first inning. But Suburban Torah led by 4 runs when CAI erupted for 7 runs in the 6th on the way to the 13-11 win. The big inning included a 2 run homer by Simeon Gutman. Greg Adelsberg also homered for Agudath and all 10 players scored at least 1 run. Ner Tamid was playing B'nai Or and with homeruns from Josh Doros and Justin Festa, Ner Tamid had a 6-5 lead over B'nai Or in the 4th inning. But B'nai Or came back with 3 in the 5th and 4 in the 6th on the way to a 15-9 lead into the bottom of the 7th. After the bottom of Ner Tamid's line up came through with 4 consecutive hits NT had the bases loaded down 15-12 with 2 outs but the game ended with a fly out to left field. For the winners, Keith Barbarosh and Craig Rosen each had 3 RBI's and 3 hits, 12 of the 13 batters had at least 1 hit, 10 different players scored and 9 different players drove in a run. Jordan Byk returned to pitch a fine game after missing most of last season.  In other action B'nai Israel defeated AABJD / Ohr Torah 25-12.
