With just one week remaining in the Atlanta Men’s Synagogue Softball league, the playoff picture is starting to shape up and Nine-time defending A-league champs B’nai Torah (5-2) sit at second place in their division behind Beth Tefillah (7-0-1).
In B-league, Beth Tikvah (6-2) defeated Chabad (6-1) and Etz Chaim (2-6) on July 10 to move into second place in the division. The Roswell congregation will face Gesher L’Torah (4-4) and Emanu-El (2-5) on July 17 to see if they can claim the top seed in B over first place Chabad.
The C-league is a tight race between Beth Shalom (5-1-1), Temple 2 (5-3) and Kol Emeth (4-3) for the top seed.
All teams will play July 17 at Ocee, Terrell Mill and East Roswell Park. Playoffs have yet to be scheduled.
