Because they came from the loser’s bracket, Chabad had to defeat Young Israel in two straight games to win the B league. Chabad quickly disposed of Young Israel in the first game 22-7 with a barrage of hitting. In the second game, Young Israel took an 8-0 lead but failed to generate much offense after that. They fell to Chabad 12-10. It was the second consecutive season that Young Israel has lost in the B league finals.
In the A league, B’nai Torah took out the Temple 7-6 on Aug. 28 to advance to the A championship against Beth Tefillah. That game will be played at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 5 at East Roswell Park as B’nai Torah looks to win their tenth consecutive A league title.
In C, Kol Emeth advanced to the championship with victories over Beth Tikvah 2 and Beth Shalom. They will face Sinai 2 in the finals. The date has not been set.
