The Yeshiva of Greater Washington hosted its second annual Maryland Softball Competition MDSC fundraiser, which Baruch Hashem was a huge success. All funds raised will go towards Yeshiva’s scholarship fund. The players had a great time, and the Yeshiva reached its fundraising goal.
This year we had two tiers consisting of six teams each for a total of twelve teams – four more teams than last year! Seven teams were from Baltimore, four were from Silver Spring and there was a team from Chicago as well. Over 150 players participated! The teams’ names were: AC Wolves, Ben Yehuda Pizza, Evergreen Benefits Group, Heideman Design, Israel Bonds, JP Warehousing Believe and Achievers, Medical Claims Solutions, Midwest, Sky Plumbing, Silver Spring Medical Center, The Boiz, and Wohl and Trail Periodontics.
The day began for Tier 1 at Reisterstown Regional Park, and at Northwest Regional Park for Tier 2. A catered breakfast from Milk and Honey Bistro was provided to the players and their families. The first pitch was thrown at 8:30 am at Northwest Regional and 10:00 am at Reisterstown Regional.
After three rounds of exciting games, the players headed off to Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium. The teams that did not make the semi-finals had a chance to play consolation games at Ripkens.
After a long day of games, Evergreen Benefits Groups defeated Sky Plumbing at the Tier 1 Holy Smokes BBQ Championship game, and Medical Claims Solutions defeated Heideman Design at the Tier 2 Town Appliance Championship Game.
Throughout the day, players and their families were treated to a grand BBQ from Le’Mo Catering. Betzalel Muller and his crew did a great job, and the food was delicious. The players’ families also got to enjoy moon bounces, face painting, inflatable obstacle courses and a mechanical bull ride at the Kids Zone and “Ripken Lot” at Ripkens Stadium. After a long day and evening, guests were then treated to a professional fireworks show.
Thank you to our tournament commissioners Dovi Ziffer and Jeremy Lasson, and of course a special thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the event a true success.
