New players are welcome to join the summer softball program at Greene Park in Monterey.

 

The league has been around for more than 30 years with games played at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays.

 

Players of all ability levels come from the towns of Monterey, Otis, Sandisfield, Great Barrington, Mill River and Lee.

 

The action continues through October.

London Steinman, Josh Lennon and Kaden Codey had two hits apiece, and Shane Bernardo and Bo Bramer combined on a four-hitter in a game that ended in the bottom of the fifth when Bernardo doubled home Potash with one out.

 

Johnny Huska doubled and scored on Nick Hall's single in the top of the second for West.

 

Bryce Huffman and Sam Sherman handled the pitching for West.

ADAMS, Mass. -- Great Barrington's Jack Carpenter led off the game with a walk and ended up scoring on a sacrifice fly, and that was all the offense the Great Barrington 12-year-old Little League All-Stars got.

 

And it was all Great Barrington needed in a 1-0 win over Pittsfield South needed on Saturday afternoon in the District 1 championship game.

 

Great Barrington pitchers Kenny Zucco and Grant Herrick were lights out in pitching their team to a tournament title out of the winner's bracket.

 

Max Joyner, who hit the sac fly to score Carpenter, also had a single and a double, and Nikos Casivant and Zucco each singled for Great Barrington.

 

For Pittsfield South, Zach Cerdato had two doubles, and Leo Arace and Christian Marchbank each singled.

 

South also turned in a defensive gem to keep the game close in top of the sixth.

 

Great Barrington had the bases loaded and nobody out when Pittsfield shortstop Zach Bernardo fielded a hot shot and fired home to Marchbank to get the lead runner. Marchbank relayed on to first to get the force and end the inning.

 

Jett Steinman was the hard-luck loser on the mound for Pittsfield South.
