Janglo was the bearer of good news, breaking into the winning column with an exciting 13-9 win, while Zach Noble’s patience at the plate was richly rewarded for Perl Pigments, in the “All Star Israel Sports Camp” Softball League.


Mickey Levinson homered, as Janglo outpaced Ossie's Fish for the victory, behind the spirited leadership of Janglo captain Zvi Herman, and veteran Binyamin Miller’s turn-back-the-clock 3 RBIs.


Meanwhile, Lobos took over sole possession of first place with a win over heretofore undefeated Ziontours. Lobos opened up a 5-0 lead in the second, thanks to sharp hitting by Nussi Jacobovitz and Yanki Itzkowitz. Ziontours looked to rally, capitalizing on rare errors to tighten the game. However, Lobos pitcher Yaacov Ehrlich helped Lobos continued pursuit of their prelapsarian pace, banishing Ziontours from edenic perfection by a score of 11-4.


Chula Vista took a huge step toward the postseason, with a 6-0 victory over fellow playoff hopefuls, Jerry's Kids. Yitzi Schwalb recorded the impressive shut-out on the mound for Chula Vista.


Jerry’s Kids second game of the week was perhaps the most exciting of the season to date, and resulted in the first tie of the campaign. The visitors, Perl's Pigments, broke a scoreles draw with two runs in the fourth, only to see Jerry’s Kids answer with four runs of their own, to take the lead. The score remained unchanged until the final frame, when the Pigments’ Zach Noble came to the plate with one out and the bases loaded, and gutted out a run-scoring walk. Akiva Lautman followed up with a game-tying sacrifice fly to deep center field, for the rare 4-4 final.


In other games with major postseason ramifications, Lakewood Heimishe Bake Shoppe defeated the RentACell Rollers 11-7, moving within striking distance of a playoff berth and putting the cell phone provider’s championship hopes in jeopardy. Pizza Larry, Shmikumaku and Kluger’s Sluggers also each stayed in the playoff hunt, the former with a win over Ossie’s Fish and the latter two with victories over Glenlivet.

Ziontours booked a trip to the top of the standings in the All Star Israel Softball League, circumnavigating the bases and playing great defense non-stop, to earn a pair of wins.


“We’ve turned on the jets and we’re flying high, I give props to the whole crew,” said Ziontours captain Benjy Berg. “There’s nothing plain about us.  We’ve got a well thought out itinerary and a briliant flight plan - but sometimes,you just gotta’ wing it”.


Ziontours’ first win was a 9-7 duel with Shmikumaku, while the second came in a 5-4 nailbiter over Kluggers Sluggers. The Sluggers took the other half of a twinbill, this time facing Wolmark, 13-4, while Shikumaku bounced back with a 13-9 win over Pizza Larry.


In other games, Lakewood Heimeshe Bake Shoppe turned on their offense, with a 17-2 win over Ossie's Fish. The Lobos Blue Jays defeated Rent A Cell Rollers 14-3, with Lobos captain Nussi Jacobovitch crushing the first pitch over the center field wall.  Kinley and Pizza Larry put on a defensive clinic, in a pristine 3-1 Kinley victory. Kinley followed up with an encore victory over Janglo, 20-3, while Jerry’s Kids rounded out the action with a 9-2 win over Glenlivets.

There was lots of exciting action in the Opening Weekend of the All Star Israel Softball League, as fans were treated to a slate of tight defensive duels and big slugfests.

Pizza Larry came away with a tight victory over Pearls Pigments, 7-4, while Klugger’s Sluggers edged Ossie’s Fish by an even narrower margin, 7-6.  

Meanwhile, RentACell came out swinging, earning a big victory over Janglo, 21-4, and Lobos made a statement in a rematch of last season’s Holyland Series, beating the defending champs, Lakewood Heimishe Bake Shoppe, 19-6.

The season-starting scintillating sequel showcased star skipper Nussi Jacobovitz, who batted 4-for-4 with two triples, a double, 5 RBI and 4 runs scored. Yaakov Erlich, Danny Strum, Yechiel Klieman and Yitzy Miller had three hits apiece, while Yitzy Kramer, Pinny Itzkowitz and Yaakov Asayag each added a pair.

In the most dramatic game of the week, Shmikumaku and The Glenlivets took turns leading until the bottom of the last, when a walk-off RBI single by Ari Orloff scored Shmuli Goldis for the game-winning run. Goldis himself had earlier evened the score on a clutch hit, sending Levi Herman across the plate. Goldis and Jake Litwin paced the Shmikumaku attack, each batting 4 for 4, while Jonathan Goldstein and Yoni Sunshine hit triples in the 9-8 victory.
