Action-Packed Championship Week
The Tel Aviv Comrades clinched their second national Juveniles championship in a row, beating the Yad Binyamin Wolves 8-0 on Friday at the Baptist Village. They had beaten the Ra’anana Raiders 2 the previous week to win the Jackson Cup for the top team in the Sharon region.
The Lev Hasharon Nationals 1 won the Cadets league, beating Modiin Navy 7-1 on Friday at Kibbutz Gezer. This is the first championship title to go to Lev Hasharon. The team didn’t drop a game all season, and didn’t disappoint in the final.
The Ra’anana Raiders Juniors took their championship against the Jerusalem Lions in a decisive 17-3 victory on Friday at the Baptist Village. The Raiders started strong and didn’t let up until they had taken back the trophy they’d last won in 2015.
Ra’anana was also dominant in the Premier League, winning the spring season championship after taking Game 3 of the series 8-5 on Thursday at the Baptist Village against a formidable opponent, the Tel Aviv Comrades. Ben Flesher pitched a complete game for the win.
Wishing all our players, coaches and umpires a restful and enjoyable summer vacation.
