The Greater Hartford Synagogue Softball League championship wrapped up its 23rd season on Monday, August 29 with a well played, hard fought slugfest between two of the league’s more dominant teams: Beth Shalom/B’nai Israel of Manchester (BS/BI) and the league’s top-seed Mazel Tov, made up of Solomon Schechter Day School alumni. Mazel Tov won its third straight championship, defeating BS/BI, a former three-time champion, by a score of 14 to 8.  The co-ed softball league is comprised of six Hartford area synagogue teams.
