DALTON, Mass. – Colton Smith went 2-for-2 with a home run, and Hector Reyes-Colon hit a grand slam Friday to lead the Pittsfield Little League 12-year-old All-Stars to a 14-1 win over Adams-Cheshire in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament at Chamberlain Park.

 

Carmelo Coco earned the win on the mound, striking out five and walking one in three scoreless innings of work as Pittsfield ended the tournament’s round-robin phase with a record of 4-0.

 

Adams finished the round robin 3-1, and both teams came into the game knowing that they will meet again at Chamberlain on Wednesday to decide the District 1 Championship.

 

But even though Friday’s game did not mean anything in terms of advancing in the tourney, Pittsfield had an objective going in, Coach Joe Skutnik said.

 

“We wanted to come out and hit the ball and play good defense,” Skutnik said. “We’re building every game. And we know that the next time we play Adams, it’s going to be an entirely different game.”

 

Neither Pittsfield nor Adams-Cheshire threw their No. 1 pitcher to start the game.

 

But Coco pitched like an ace, giving up just a single and a walk before giving the ball to Sean Rozak to pitch the fourth with a 14-0 cushion.
