Pittsfield 10-Year-Old Little Leaguers Stay Alive in Sectional

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WESTFIELD, Mass. – Westfield’s Cross Street Park has been a house of horrors for the Pittsfield Little League 10-year-old program in recent years.
 
Maybe that is why on Saturday Pittsfield got out of there as fast as it could.
 
P.J. Garner went the distance on the mound, and battery mate Henry Chevalier went 2-for-2 with a double and three RBIs as Pittsfield beat Westfield, 13-2, in four innings to advance to the championship round of the Section 1 Tournament.
 
Pittsfield survived the losers’ bracket of the double elimination tourney and earned the right to face Holden (2-0) on Sunday afternoon. A win for Pittsfield on Sunday will force a winner-take-all finale on Monday evening at Deming Park.
 
Last year, Westfield wrestled the sectional title from Pittsfield with a seventh-inning walkoff win in Westfield. This week, Westfield opened pool play with a 4-3 walkoff win on its home field.
 
“This has been a long time coming down here and not winning,” Pittsfield coach Matt Stracuzzi said. “The way we lost last year and then how we lost Thursday night – to come in and then 10-run them? Oh my God.
 
“These kids, they accepted this challenge when we lost that first game. I told them they could do it, and boy did they show it today.”
