As the summer draws to a close, so does the annual Atlanta men’s synagogue softball league. Postseason play in all three divisions began July 31 for the 23 team double elimination tournament.

In the A league, nine-time defending champion B’nai Torah easily handled Ariel 16-6 in the opening round but was defeated in the second by the Temple 18-8. They will face the winner of Ahavath Achim and Dor Tamid on August 7 to attempt to move on the quarter finals. Beth Tefillah, the top seed in A, won two close games to move on to the semi-finals against the Temple.

The B league opening round featured a trio of tight games with the highlight being Etz Chaim’s clash with Chabad. The two squads took an 8-8 tie into extra innings until Chabad sealed the win with a walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth. Or Hadash and Young Israel, who defeated Beth Tikvah and Chabad respectively will face each other for a trip to the semi-finals on August 7.

In C, Beth Shalom and Sinai 2 will face each other in the quarter finals on August 7.
