Just ask the Frankel Jewish Academy baseball team. First-year coach Steve Morton's Jaguars won only one game this season, but it came at the perfect time. Frankel beat host Southfield Christian Eagles 3-1 in the semifinals of a Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 4 district tourna- ment. It was the Jaguars' first district win since 2004. "Southfield Christian is a lot like us:' said Morton. "They have young play- ers and a new coach. But it still was a great win:' Eagle Coach Rich Satterfield played for Morton when Morton was an assis- tant baseball coach at Hazel Park High School. Royal Oak Shrine beat Frankel 14-1 for the district championship, but that game also produced positive news for the Jaguars. Jake Feldman hit Frankel's only home run of the season, a drive that sailed more than 300 feet into left-center field over a temporary fence. Even though the score was lopsided, the Jaguars (1-14) earned some respect from Shrine (17-5), which had beaten Frankel three times earlier in the season. "Shrine's coach told me after the game that we had really improved:' Morton said. "I agree with him. We improved all year long:' It wasn't easy to improve with eight sophomores and two freshmen seeing regular playing time and eight games, mostly against teams of Frankel's com- petitive level, washed out because of rain. But the Jaguars did get better, and the improvement culminated in the win over Southfield Christian (2-16). Senior right-hander Teddy Sallen, a Catholic League All-Academic selection, pitched a two-hit gem in the victory. He gave up a run in the bottom of the first inning but shut down the Eagles after that, striking out six. His battery- mate was senior catcher Michael Klar. Sallen's teammates, especially shortstop Kyle Otis, played solid defense behind him. Frankel didn't make an error. The Jaguars tied the game with a run in the top of the fourth and broke the tie with two runs in the sixth. Jeremy Cohn had two hits including an RBI single that put Frankel ahead for good 2-1. Oliver Soble scored the go- ahead run. Ethan Weinfeld, who played little dur- ing the season after suffering a broken wrist during spring break, had a pair of hits and scored Frankel's third run. Feldman also had two hits and drove in Seth Warren with the Jaguars' first run. Sophomore Jacob Sallen, younger brother of Teddy Sallen, was Frankel's hit leader. Morton said Warren, a freshman, also shows great promise for the future. Morton, 45, a West Bloomfield resi- dent, is a 1986 Berkley High School graduate who played baseball and wrestled for the Bears. He's a social studies, U.S. and world history teacher at Hazel Park, where he spent the last nine years as assistant wrestling coach before resigning in spring 2012. He said he's already looking forward to next season with the Frankel base- ball program. "There were many young and eager players who didn't make our team this season:' he said. "With some more tal- ent coming in, I hope our numbers will support forming a junior varsity team:' Michael Govier, a social studies teacher at Frankel, was Morton's assis- tant coach this spring. "He's a fine coaching partner:' Morton said. Also on the Frankel roster were Ben Canvasser, Hershel Dorman, Dean Hamer, Brian Langnas, Isaac Mayers, Brandon Mostyn, Zachary Rosenthal and Connor Tukel.
