Congratulations to Team “AMP Solutions (your local Electrician),” on winning the “Goldberg’s Bagels/Mama Leah’s Pizza/Taam Thai” Championship and taking home the “Camp Shoresh” trophy!
Read on for details from the game:
——————————————————————————————————————–
Two teams. Nine innings. One champion. After a long, hard-fought season, it was an epic showdown between the two top teams – Orshan Legal Group vs. AMP Solutions. As the lower seed, AMP batted first and immediately began a scoring extravaganza. Led by AMP power hitters Binyamin Goldenberg, MoDo Artman, Meir Parry, and Josh Zaslow, AMP scored 10 runs in the first two innings while holding OLG to just one run, thanks to some clutch fielding by Aharon Loiterman, Benzion Shamberg, and Avraham “Frosty” Frost.
While Orshan Legal Group was down, they were certainly not out, and were determined to close the gap. With a few uncharacteristic AMP errors and solid hitting by OLG, the legal group pulled within striking distance, scoring 14 going into the top of the 7th, bringing the score 16-15 in favor of AMP.
In a fiery and motivating speech for the ages, Captain Meir Parry brought the team together and stressed the importance of staying energized, with the focus on the present. Team sponsor, and electrician extraordinaire Avrumi Mutterperl also got in on the action, distributing his secret green energy drinks, which provided a much-needed jolt to the team. With a unified and resounding “LETS GO AMP!” the AMP players were electrified and ready to rock.
The response was powerful. Gil Kreisel hit a single, Binyamin Guttman struck a solid line drive over third, and Danny Weissman got on base. But AMP wasn’t done! The big hits continued with a monster shot by Parry, a deep line drive double by Zaslow, and big hits by Goldenberg and Artman. With Shamberg and Loiterman continuing to excel, and Zaslow flying around the bases with his unparalleled speed, AMP secured another 6 runs. Despite missing consistent hitter Moshe Treitel, everyone from top to bottom was hitting! In the field at the bottom of the 8th, AMP was up 22-15, and Orshan began to rally with one out. But alas, they were no match for AMP’s gloves. With Goldenberg rockets from 3rd to first, and a slick double play by Parry, AMP stopped them in their tracks.
After a few more insurance runs added in the top of the 9th, the score was 25-16 AMP. In the bottom of the 9th, Pitcher Danny Weisman continued his pristine game. With two outs, and only one more needed to seal the game, OLG hitter Yehuda Pensak hit a hard line drive which appeared to be going over 2nd. But in a Sports Center worthy highlight, Frosty jumped to right and fully extended, made the catch to end the game and seal the win! Team AMP, the unlikely wild card team, put together a masterful game with over 30 hits, and majestic fielding just when they needed it to win the Championship.
Thanks to our sponsor Avrumi Mutterperl from AMP Solutions and to all the fans who came out to support the 2024 Champions!
