the first and once in the sec-
ond. West Bloomfield scored
twice in the first. The game
stayed tied 2-2 until Weiss’
timely hit ended the non-
league battle.
Weiss would have been on
the West Bloomfield junior
varsity baseball team to start
last season.
Instead of being angry
about losing the season to the
pandemic, the right-handed
thrower and batter went to
work.
“I trained hard and this
past winter, I got in some
great practices with my new
travel baseball team, the
Detroit Metro Stars,” said
Weiss, who is on the Metro
Stars’ 16U Red team.
Weiss, 16, has been playing
travel baseball since he was
12.
West Bloomfield lost 3-2 to
non-league opponent Utica
Ford on March 29 in its next
game after beating Lincoln
Park. Then the Lakers took
a week off from competition
for spring break.
“Two one-run games in
our first two games. We
won one and lost one,”
Birnberg said. “That’s base-
ball. You can’t get too high
or too low.”
Josh Weiss (5-8) and his good friend Matt Fountain (6-7) each stood
tall for the West Bloomfield baseball team in the Lakers’ season-
opening win over Lincoln Park.

No Missing Links for the
B’nai B’rith Golf League
It’s getting close to tee-off time for the B’nai B’rith golf
league. There’s a full house once again, with 24 golfers, 12
teams of two, ready to do battle each week at the Links of
Novi, the league’s home course for several years.
“We had to turn people away,”
said league spokesman Gary
Klinger. “We can’t have any more
teams because we play in the
late afternoon ... It would be too
dark to finish early and late in the
season.”
Tee times for the nine-hole
rounds range from 5:32 to 6:06
p.m.
Opening day is April 29.
Competition will continue each
Thursday for 17 weeks.
