Livingston Temple Softball League 04/23/17

B'nai Jeshurun has the longest winning streak in the league which is now 5 in a row including last year's playoff run after their 22-8 win over AABJD last Sunday... They have scored the most runs in the league with 44 and have the best run differential at + 21 lifting their record to 2-0... Chabad (2-0) kept pace with a 19-4 win over Pine Brook led by Micha Mandel who was 4-4 with 4 runs scored and David Levine who was 5-5, scored 4 runs, had 2 HR's and a triple. Evan Bell was also 5-5. In the win, Rabbi Mendy Kasowitz made a diving catch of a sinking line drive in left with 2 on and 2 out to end the bottom of the 4th and led off the 5th with a solo HR... After a shaky 1st inning, Temple Sinai is also 2-0 as they defeated Agudath Israel 20-6... Temple Sharey Tefilo Israel and B'nai Brith had a back and forth battle with each team taking the lead until it was tied at 7 after 6 innings. But TSTI broke it open with 7 runs in the top of the 7th and BB could only manage 3 giving TSTI the 14-10 win. Michael Somekh, Jason Grebin and Mark Berger each had 3 hits for the winners. Joel Schaefer had a clutch 2 out single with the bases loaded to keep the rally going in the top of the 7th. Matt Katz had several nice defensive plays while maneuvering the puddles in left field, including nailing a runner trying to go 1st to 3rd on a single.

Out of the 7 teams in the B division 5 of them are 1-1 and the other 2 teams have only played 1 game for a virtual 7 way tie for 1st. With only 3 games being played each game matched a winner and a non-winner from the previous week and last week's non-winner won every game. Beth Shalom got the best of Ner Tamid by a 14-8 margin leading the entire way. It was solid defense early enabling them to build a comfortable lead. On offense, Steve Siegal led off the game with a HR, and added 2 more hits. Mitch Berkey was 3-4 with 2 triples and 3 RBI's. Jeremy Kross was 3-4 with a 3 run homer and Doug Netburn was impossible to get out going 4-4 with 2 RBI's and 2 runs... Suburban Torah avenged their 1st week loss by beating B'nai Or 24-19. B'nai Or took an 8-2 lead early only to fall behind 9-8. But B'nai Or regained the lead and opened up a 16-9 lead going into the 6th. Suburban Torah tied it with 7 but again B'nai Or came back with 3 runs for a 19-16 lead going into the 7th. ST then scored 8 in the 7th to finish it off at 24-19... Also, AABJD/Ohr Torah defeated B'nai Israel 11-7. We will be playing a DH this week with the 1st game at 9:00 using the regularly scheduled 4/30 game. The 2nd game will be at approximately 10:30 using the 4/9 schedule (1st week). 2017 schedule posted below and an updated weekly schedule will be posted in a few days.

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).
