iBerkshires.com Sports
FLORENCE, Ala. -- The Berkshire Force travel softball team Saturday morning scored a run in the bottom of the sixth and had the tying run on second base but dropped a 4-3 decision to Mexico in pool play at the Babe Ruth World Series.
 
Needing two runs to stay alive in a game that was bumping up against the tournament's time rule, Gianna Moses hit a one-out single to left to get Berkshire going in the sixth.
 
She then stole second and eventually scored without the ball being put in play.
 
With two out, Victoria Blanchard worked a walk, and she took second on a single by Lillian Pudelko.
 
But Mexico pitcher Melissa Renteria got a called third strike to end the game.
 
Renteria struck out eight, walked four and allowed one earned run to go the distance for the win in the circle.
 
Berkshire's Cassidy Flynn threw five innings, striking out three and giving up two earned runs. Olivia Archambault threw one inning of scoreless relief.
