also a valuable guy there.”
Shir Tikvah won the Rosen
Division regular season title
this year with a 13-7 record.
But it lost its opening
game of the double-
elimination division playoffs
to regular-season runner-up
Beth Ahm, sending it into
a win-or-else mode for the
remainder of the playoffs.
A 14-2 win over Beth Ahm
on the second and final day
of the playoffs paved the
way for a winner-take-all
championship game between
the two teams.
Shir Tikvah trailed in that
game until Jordan Small’s
two-run double in the
bottom of the sixth inning
gave Shir Tikvah a lead it
would never lose.

SHOW OF POWER?
Michael Reamer’s solo homer
proved to be Shir Tikvah’s
final run of the season.
Reamer also hit the team’s
first homer of the season.
Each homer was hit at Keith
Sports Park, but at different
diamonds.
“Having a home run for

our final run of the season is
the antithesis of who we are,”
Poger said. “We usually play
small ball.”
Poger made sure he
secured the game ball in
the playoff championship
game after the final Beth
Ahm batter grounded out to
second baseman Mark Small,
who threw to first baseman
Jordan Small.
“I was on the bench,”
Poger said. “As soon as the
final out was made, I made a
beeline for Jordan.”
The ball — now with
“Champs! 2021” written on
it by Poger — along with
the division championship
trophy will be displayed at
Shir Tikvah, Poger said.
His team cap and mitt also
may be in the display at the
synagogue.
Also on Shir Tikvah’s roster
this season were Robert
Breitman, Kyle Edwards,
Howard and Joel Fershtman,
Brook Morris, and Aaron and
Brendan Small.
