Print Story | Email Story
QUEBEC-The Berkshire Black Bears are having a hard time north of the border as the Quebec Le’Capitals beat them for the second game in a row Tuesday night in Quebec. The final score was 8-3. While run production remains at a minimum, the bats seem to be coming alive. There were nine Black Bear hits with center fielder Curtis Goodwin and catcher Scott Allen banging out two each. Joe Kerrigan, Chris Vasquez, Chris Sawyer and Luis Mercedes all singled. The Black Bears got on the board in the sixth when Mercedes crossed the plate on a Curtis Goodwin double. Goodwin then stole third and scored on a Vasquez single to right field. The other run came in the top of the ninth inning when Todd Brock homered. The Black Bears finish up the series tomorrow night in Quebec and then go to Allentown for a three game series with the Ambassadors before returning home Friday night against Elmira.

North Adams Christmas Trees Installed for 2024

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The two downtown Christmas trees were delivered and set up Monday, kicking off the holiday season in the city.
 
"It will take me from now until the tree lighting to decorate it," Wire and Alarm Inspector Mitchell Meranti said.
 
Meranti did not know the exact size of the two trees but noted the tree closest to the monument was difficult to size.
 
"This is probably the most challenging one that I have done," he said. "It started out a 50-footer and we had to cut it down at the site and here more. So it is a lot of work."
 
The crew must leave enough trunk exposed to place the tree in the 29-inch pit located in front of the Civil War monument.
 
After the tree is placed, Meranti said they have to square it up and secure it with cables. Then it is time to decorate.
 
Although a lot of work, he said the tree placement is always a bright spot in the year for the Department of Public Works.
