Softball: Twisters post second straight shutout

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
In Israel Softball Association action last week, the Galil Twisters improved to 2-0 with their second straight shutout - a 25-0 white-washing of the Dawgs. In the other game, Shimshon Hi Tech defeated the Galil Dustdevils 17-10 Galil Twisters 25, Dawgs 0 Bill Arscott and Kobi Daya combined for the shutout, striking out seven, scattering four hits and walking none while the Twisters offense scored at least three runs in every inning. Yoni Weiss was 4-5 with two inside-the-park homers, five RBI's and four runs scored, Allan Paderson was 4-5 in his league debut and Micah Winston had three hits, four RBI's and preserved the shutout by throwing out Robert Even at home. Shimshon Hi Tech 17, Galil Dustdevils 10 Jeff Mor had five hits and four RBI and Shem-Tov Shapiro (six strikeouts, two walks) pitched effectively as Shimshon Hi Tech held off the feisty Northern youth team. The Dustdevils pulled within 10-8 after five but shaky defense never was their eventual downfall. Jed Ben Nahum pitched well, striking out two and walking three in six innings and Itai Wisell hit a two-run homer for the youngsters. Baruch Tannenbaum was 4-5 with four runs and Martin Cardoso was 3-4 with a diving catch for Beit Shemesh. The highlight of the game occurred in the fifth when Shimshon Hi Tech Ari Shapiro hit a smash to deep left field which was dropped by left fielder Yaakov Tamasgan but caught by centerfielder Natan Tamari who had alertly backed him up.
