NORTH ADAMS – The North Adams SteepleCats announce that Kevin Carby has been named SteepleCats Player of the Week and Tim Boyce has been named SteepleCats Pitcher of the Week for the week of June 16-22.
 
Carby (Tulsa, OK/Tennessee Wesleyan College) turned it on when North Adams went out on the road this past week and has kept it going as he is currently riding a four-game hitting streak. During the streak, Carby is batting .412 (7-for-17) with a triple and six RBI. On the SteepleCats recent 2-1 road trip to Pittsfield, Torrington and Holyoke, Carby went 5-for-14 with all five hits driving home at least one run.
 
Boyce (Swansea, MA/University of Rhode Island) wins the team’s Pitcher of the Week award for the second week in a row. He made his only start during that stretch count as the Rhode Island right-hander went seven no-hit innings in a 7-0 victory over Torrington on Friday. Boyce was perfect through the first 20 batters of the game. Currently, Tim is riding a 15 innings scoreless streak and has neither allowed an earned run, nor walked a batter in his 20 innings of work this season.

Following tonight’s game, the SteepleCats will have Monday off before playing four of the next five games on the road, at Keene and Lowell on Tuesday and Wednesday and at Danbury and Torrington on Friday and Saturday. The lone home game in that stretch is on June 26 when North Adams will take on the Sanford Mainers when it will be Hoosac Bank Night at Joe Wolfe Field.

Multiple Departments Respond to Lanesborough Structure Fire

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Multiple fire departments responded to a structure fire off Narragansett Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Fire Department received a call from the owner of 6 Bangor St. reporting smoke and flames at around 1:44 p.m.

Firefighters arriving on scene reported heavy smoke emanating from the 1940s single-family ranch home in the thickly settled neighborhood.

The blaze was brought under control in less than an hour and there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. 

"The homeowner was outside doing some work, evidently, opened the door when she came back in the house, and there were flames and smoke, so she backed out and called us, and that's all we know right now," Deputy Fire Chief Glen Storie said around 2:35 p.m. 

The fire was out at that time, and first responders observed "quite a bit of damage" to the home. The cause is still under investigation. 

Lanesborough, Cheshire, and Pittsfield departments responded to the scene, and Hancock covered the station during the call. 

"The first crew in knocked the fire right down with the first engine," Storie said. 

Smoke could be seen coming from the back of the home. Part of Narragansett Avenue and Bangor Avenue were blocked off while firefighters battled the blaze.
