Clash of the All-Stars: USA Crushes Canada

It was an epic showdown Sunday, two all-star teams from Canada and USA faced off in a three game series of softball in Syracuse, NY. The teams were made up of the best players of the Crown Heights Softball League and Lubavitch players in the Toronto Softball League.

It became painfully clear that team Canada was out matched and out powered by team USA in the first inning of the first game, with USA cycling their lineup and pulling ahead to a 11-0 lead.

The only drawback, loosing Zevi Steinhauser to an injury while running to second base, with the injury serious enough to worry the Red Heifers and their championship aspirations.

Towards the end of game 1 Avremi Metal made a spectacular play, dashing out any hopes for Canada to get back into the game. With the bases loaded Metal made an amazing leap catching a hard hit line drive making the third out.

Game 1 ended with a score of 15-4 to USA, and credit goes to pitcher Danny Cole who dominated the Canadian lineup.

Final score for game 2 was 8-1 to USA, with credit going to pitcher Chesky Herz.

Game 3 ended with a score of 16-11 to USA, and was by far the closest, starting pitcher was Mendy Herz, and was later replaced by closer Danny Cole who shut down the Canadian Offence.

After USA took their victories the families enjoyed a barbeque together.

    I heard Canada was missing half their team. i think a rematch for next year should definitely happen.

  • MVP - CHEZKY HERTZ

    Chezky hertz wins MVP for only allowing 1 run in his game, with danny allowed 4 and mendy allowed more then 4.

    chezky when will we see you in the majors?

  • Asterisk

    As in every record in baseball this is no different, Zevi you would be remiss not to place an * on this win(s) as well. What would have been fair is to switch the ball after the game and not wait till you built the momentum after two games using your own ball.

    PS. You won bc as usual the Canadians were polite to your outrageous demand.

    in some leagues pitchers wear a MASK to that a ball it right at them doesn’t kill them…..and every player was in the line up.

    APPARENTLY, when you’re dissing someone about their inability to spell, it’s good to be able to spell the first word correctly. just saying.
