Playoffs to Begin

There’s a lot of action throughout the leagues in the coming weeks. Playoffs for Israel Baseball Premier League, Juniors, Cadets and Juveniles are happening soon, and it will be exciting.

In the Premier League, on Thursday June 13, the Tel Aviv Comrades will play the Jerusalem Lions for a place in the championships starting next Sunday against Ra’anana. With 11 wins out of 14 games, Ra’anana is looking good. Championship games on Sunday June 16 and Tuesday June 18, and if required, on Thru7sday June 20 at 19:00 at the Baptist Village.

The Bet Shemesh Juniors are the team to beat in the Juniors league. But the Jerusalem Lions and last year’s champions the Modiin Miracles aren’t giving the championship away without a fight.

In the Cadets leagues, the big question is if anyone can topple Lev Hasharon Nationals 1, a team that hasn’t lost a game the entire year. The Modiin Blue Miracles aren’t giving up without a fight – they have 14 wins from 16 games played, and are looking to come back strong.

In the Juveniles leagues, the Sharon Region’s Tel Aviv Comrades and Ra’anana Raiders 2 will play for the Jackson cup on Friday at the Baptist Village. In the Shfela, the Yad Binyamin Wolves have had a great season, winning 10 of their 11 games, with the Bet Shemesh Blue Sox hot on their heels with nine wins, one tie and two losses. The winner of the two regions will play for the ultimate national juveniles title in late June.

All playoffs start this week. Come and support your team. For details of the games and their venues, please see the schedule on our website under the “Leagues” tab on the home page.
