Never in doubt. That's the short summary of Gezer's 10-1 win over the Modiin Miracles, which clinched 1st place in the group and won them a trip to the semifinals.

Leadoff batter Avichai Schiffmiller singled on the first pitch. Shalev Gazit then doubled to put runners on 2nd and 3rd. After ball 1 which eluded the catcher and scored Schiffmiller, Ealley Chorev then drove a long triple to plate Gazit. Chorev would later score on a wild pitch.

Evan Milgram got his 1st-ever Juvenile win, with 3 solid innings of 1-hit ball, walking 2 and striking out 6. The 0 runs included a perfect 1st-and-third play pulled off by catcher Chorev, who threw back to pitcher Milgram and caught the runner by surprise. Milgram threw back to Chorev who tagged the runner out.

Schiffmiller would end up 3-3 with 3 runs scored. Chorev was also 3-3 with 4 RBI. Ofek Yaakobi added 2 singles, Ariel Schnaps got his first hit, and even Noam Namer picked up an infield single and an RBI in the 4th.
