The state champion North Farmington/West Bloomfield 10-year-old all-star team.

David Zeitlin takes a vicious swing at a
pitch.

edged Garden City 3-2 in seven
innings in the championship
game.
Starting pitcher Adam Mar-
ton, who hadn't practiced or
played in eight days because of
the flu, allowed just one hit in
four innings.
• Jeff Vieder hurled the fifth and

sixth and David Zeitlin earned
the win by pitching the seventh.
Zeitlin helped his cause by pick-
ing a runner off first base.
Mike Sack's bunt single down <
the third-base line got NFWB go-
ing in the bottom of the seventh.
Sack stole second and Brian
Johns chased him home with a
solid single to right.
NFWB had seven hits in the
K
game, with Mike Marshall and
Zeitlin each getting two. Sack
was excellent defensively at third
base.
Other players on the NFWB <
roster were Mike Bowman, Scott
Duschinsky, Steve Jaffe, Nathan
Ranney, Gary Rosenberg, Jeff
Shumer and Jake Viane. The
coaching staff was made up of
Bob Marshall, Mark Rosenberg
and Barry Zeitlin.
Ten teams were in the field
in the Continental Amateur
Baseball Association state tour-
nament in Northville and the
Cobras raced to the title by win-
ning six straight.
After going 4-0 in divisional
play, the Cobras blasted
Northville 14-0 in the semifinals
and edged the St. Clair Shores
Sox 8-6 in the finals.
The Sox finished second in
the Cobras' division. When the
Cobras and Sox met in a tour-
nament opener, the Cobras
scratched out an 8-7 win.
Earlier this summer, Man-
ager Bob Sopo's Cobras went
16-0 in the Michigan Baseball
Federation League. So they take
a 22-0 record to Oklahoma for the
24-team World Series, which is
slated for Aug. 5-16.
Gad-Harf is the Cobras' left
fielder and cleanup batter and
Melvin bats sixth and plays first
base. Each is hitting around .500.
