Livingston Temple Softball League 07/13/14

Sharey Tefilo Israel (14-0) finished off their undefeated season with a 35-13 win over a shorthanded (8 players) Temple Emanu-El. The E-Men actually had a 12-11 lead after 2 innings but TSTI regrouped and took off from there. TSTI put together the most prolific scoring season in the league's history with 286 runs but failed to break Temple Emanu-El's runs against record with these last 13 putting TSTI at 107 runs against. The E-Men gave up 100 runs in the A division in 2003. Beth Shalom's 80 runs against is the league record but was done in the B division in 2005. TSTI has now won 18 games in a row going back to last year. In 2003 when we started the A & B division set up, Temple Emanu-El won their 1st 21 games (4 in 2004) in a row which still is the record for  longest league winning streak. The E-Men also had won 20 in a row going into 2003 making that 41 consecutive games without a loss. But that 20 game win streak in 2001-2002 was when we had a mixed schedule with an A, B and C division. B'nai Jeshurun held on to the #2 seed going into next week's playoffs with a 16-6 win over B'nai Shalom (#4). Pine Brook (#5) will face B'nai Shalom in the 1st round after they defeated AABJD (#3) 10-6. Temple Sinai (#6) won the right to remain in the A division next season winning over B'nai Abraham (#7) in 8 innings 15-14. Temple Emanu-El tied B'nai Abraham in the regular season but the runs against tie breaker makes them the #8 seed since they split their head to head contests.

Temple Sholom (11-3) edged Agudath Israel (10-4) by a score of 10-9 to take the top spot in the B division. TSWE jumped out to an early 5-0 lead but CAI tightened up the defense and fought back to take a 9-6 lead. TSWE came back to tie it in the bottom of the 6th and turned their 2nd double play of the game in the top of the 7th to keep the game tied. In the bottom of the inning Brian Frese drove in Jeff Shapiro for the walk off win. Frese was joined in a 3-4 game by Mat Kaplan and Jeff Shapiro who also homered for TSWE.  In the loss, James Gurland had a bases clearing 3 run double for CAI. B'nai Brith will be the #3 seed after a 17-5 win over Suburban Torah (#5). Despite tying Agudath Israel in the regular season standings B'nai Brith lost their only game against that team. One of the hottest teams in the B division continued to roll as B'nai Or (#4) defeated Chabad (#6) 22-9. B'nai Or had 12 runs in the first two innings and coasted to the win led by Jason Cohen (4 runs, 3 run HR), Keith Barbarosh (3 hits, 3 runs), Scott Charles (3 hits, 3 RBI's), Craig Rosen (4 RBI's and Jordan Byk (3 hits, 2 runs, 3 RBI's). Ner Tamid (#8) extended their season at least one more game with a 13-1 win over B'nai Israel which gave them each the same record but Ner Tamid is awarded the last playoff spot by virtue of the least runs against tiebreaker. In the win, Rob Crum and Justin Festa both homered and the entire team played great defense with highlight reel catches from Justin Festa, Dave Drier and Rob Crum. Ohr Torah pulled off the best comeback in their short team history. Down 5 runs to Beth Shalom with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th they somehow scored 6 straight to take the 17-16 win. Ohr Torah will now be one of only 3 teams to start next season on a winning streak. In the loss, Mark Konstandt was 5-5 tying a team record. He also had 2 doubles and 2 triples. He broke another team record by getting tagged out twice in one inning.

Livingston Temple Softball League 07/06/14

Sharey Tefilo Israel (13-0) has one more game to win for a perfect regular season. This past week TSTI scored 14 in the 1st and 9 in the 3rd using a lot of singles to get by Pine Brook 28-13 in 5 innings. TSTI is the first team in the league to score over 250 runs in a regular season and they still have one game left. They can also be the first A division team to give up less than 100 runs in a season but would have to hold Temple Emanu-El to 5 runs or less next week.  In Temple Emanu-El's undefeated regular season (2003) they gave up only 100 runs.  The E-Men edged B'nai Jeshurun (9-4) 10-9 courtesy of an Adam Phelp's game ending RBI in the bottom of the 7th. Rob Goldberg and Andrew Greenberg stood out defensively keeping Temple Emanu-El in the game the whole way. AABJD (9-4) moved back into a tie for 2nd with a 17-5 win over Temple Sinai. For the winners, Andrew Israeli had 5 assists and Doug Eisenberg had 5 RBI's. B'nai Shalom won a seesaw battle with B'nai Abraham (4 lead changes) after falling behind 13-9 in the 6th by scoring 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Pitcher Bennet Schwartz had 3 hits to help his own cause. Michael Helderman had 3 hits driving in the tying run in the 7th with 2 outs. Michael also scored the winning run on Larry Lesnik's 2 out single. The 14-13 final set up a 3 way tie for the 6-7-8 seed in the A division. But unofficially it looks like the winner of the B'nai Abraham / Temple Sinai game will be the #6 seed and the loser will join Temple Emanu-El in the 7-8 spot.  

The top 3 teams in the B division all bounced back with wins this week and 1st place will be decided by the winner of Agudath Israel's (10-3) game with Temple Sholom (10-3) next week. Agudath Israel thought they had their game won 20-5 in 5 innings but a dropped fly with 2 outs in the 5th led to 10 more runs for Chabad who eventually fell 23-15. For the winners, Greg Adelsberg had 2 triples, 2 homeruns and 9 RBI's. 4 hits for Aaron Gerberg and 3 each for Paul Aaronoff (5 runs scored), Jeff Weinstock and Jason Kay. Temple Sholom defeated Ner Tamid 17-4 with pitcher Glenn Lieberman going 4-4. Also perfect at the plate in the win was Jeff Goldberger (2 singles, 3B, 2 run HR). B'nai Brith (9-4) still has a shot at the #2 seed after a 17-2 win against B'nai Israel. B'nai Brith holds the tiebreaker edge on Temple Sholom but not against Agudath Israel. B'nai Or (8-5) continued their move up with a 28-8 win over Ohr Torah. The winners had 25 runs after 2 innings the 2nd being a 19 run inning for a team record. Keith Barbarosh hit for the cycle while scoring 3 and driving in 5. Ten players scored at least 2 runs and ten had RBI's. In the final game of the division it was close for a while but Suburban Torah (8-5) scored the last 9 runs to defeat Beth Shalom 11-4. The playoffs begin next week for B'nai Israel and Ner Tamid. The winner of their game Sunday will be the #8 seed in the B division.
