Opening Day in the FM Home Loans Israel Softball League started with a big win for the Shudoggs.
2nd Baseman Hillel Elbogen paced the Shudoggs attack, going 4-for-4 with 3 RBI, while pitcher Pinny Levine put in a stellar performance, going the distance in a complete game victory, with six strikeouts and only a solitary earned run.
"We really found our zone," said Shudoggs team captain Meir Weiss, following the 9-5 victory over Team Greenwald. "We were cruising."
Intense efforts to commence the season after the long Corona break ultimately were successful, and FM Home Loans Israel Softball League Commissioner Dovi Rabinowitz took special pleasure in celebrating this Opening Day.
"With the entire country coming out of the shut-down at once, we had to contend with an enormous number of soccer teams all vying for the fields at the same time as us. I've never had so many meetings in my life, as I've had in the past two weeks. Pretty much non-stop - by phone, on zoom and in person. But we made it happen, and it was all worth it - it's an amazing feeling to get back out on the field."
Rabinowitz thanked Itzik Kornfein, Director of the Jerusalem Municipality Sports Department, for helping make sure softball would continue to thrive in the capital.
Myda Advisors 8 - Senter's Psychos 6
In the most anticipated showdown of Opening Weekend, Myda Advisors edged out Senter's Psychos. Myda opened up a 6-2 lead, before Senter's began chipping away. A pair of Myda insurance runs in the top of the last proved to be
the difference.
Waterbury Wolfpack 6 - Mercaz Moonshots 2
In a defensive gem, the vaunted Mercaz scored first, but couldn't come around the bags again until the last inning, by which point Waterbury had the game well in hand.
Stars 8 - Jerusalem Glatt 0
The Stars jumped out of the gate with 5 runs in the first, and never looked back, stymying all threats to record the inaugural shut-out of the season.
