Between the bat and the arm of Pittsfield's Weston Wigglesworth, he made an impact, knocking out a home run in the second inning to put Pittsfield up, 10-1, as well as pitching a single inning, striking out four.

 

“He's truly our best player in terms of all around on the team.” said Pittsfield Coach Ty Perrault.

 

Jeremiah Bullet had himself a day, going 1-for-1 with a walk, a double, and three runs scored.

 

Athol's Harry Doody accounted for his team's only run after slamming a line drive to left field to drive in Landon Cummings.
