PHOENIX -- Matt Koperniak stole a base and scored a run for Great Britain in Sunday's 18-8 loss to Canada at the World Baseball Classic.
 
In the top of the first inning, Koperniak, the starting at designated hitter, drew a walk. He stole second and ended up scoring on a single by Nick Ward in a three-run rally.
 
The Hoosac Valley graduate ended up going 0-for-1 after being lifted for a pinch-hitter.
 
Through two games at the Classic, Koperniak is 0-for-2 with a pair of walks.
 
Great Britain is 0-2 in the five-team Group C. It plays Colombia on Monday at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in a game to be televised on FS2.
 
Earlier this month in a Spring Training game in West Palm Beach, Fla., Koperniak hit a pinch-hit solo home run in a 9-6 win over the Washington Nationals.

These six selections from the 1930s-1960s represent some of the greatest achievements in film, at a time when the original Hollywood studio system was at the height of its power. This period was also when The Adams Theater was originally operating as a movie theater. Come catch a flick and drink in some nostalgia with two Northern Berkshire theaters of a certain vintage.

"We’re excited to present the first of many future collaborations with our friends at Images Cinema," said Adams Theater founder and artistic director Yina Moore. "We have so much history and audience in common, and collaboration is at the heart of what the Adams Theater does. We’re looking forward to welcoming audience members to relive some Hollywood–and Berkshire–history."  

"Images is especially excited to have The Adams among our collaborators this year, and first out of the gate," says Dan Hudson, Images Cinema Executive Director. "This series is all-killer, no-filler, and we're honored to receive support from an Arts Build Community grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to support an expansive vision of more film programming around the Northern Berkshires."
