PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city of Pittsfield's paving list for 2023 is now available on the city's website, cityofpittsfield.org.
 
The document, "2023 Road Work Program," can be accessed on the Department of Public Services page or by clicking here.
 
Bidding for the contracted work is expected to begin in April, with paving slated to start late May.
 
Public Services and Utilities Commissioner Ricardo Morales said the list incorporates several factors.
 
"Our engineering office used the established asset management evaluation system to compile this list. The process included a review of the pavement condition index which reflects the amount and level of distress for each road. Then, each road was scored into a pavement condition index. We also included input from ward councilors and accounted for existing and future projects as well as Berkshire Gas and Eversource road work plans," Morales said.

Belchertown Stops Pittsfield Post 68

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Belchertown Post 239’s Cooper Beckwith set the tone when he crushed the game’s first pitch to left-center field for a double.
 
The visitors went on to pound out 14 more hits in a 9-1 win over Pittsfield Post 68 in American Legion Baseball action at Buddy Pellerin Field on Monday night.
 
Beckwith went 3-for-4 with an RBI and scored twice, and Chase Earle went five innings on the mound without allowing an earned run as Post 239 improved to 15-0 this summer and completed a regular-season sweep of Post 68 (12-4).
 
“He’s a good pitcher,” Post 68 coach Rick Amuso said. “Good velo[city], kept the ball down. We didn’t respond.”
 
Pittsfield did manage to scratch out a run in the bottom of the fourth inning, when it already trailed, 7-0.
 
Nick Brindle reached on an error to start the inning. He moved up on a single by Jack Reed (2-for-2) and scored on a single to left by Cam Zerbato.
 
That was half the hits allowed by Earle, who struck out three before giving the ball to Alex West, who gave up a leadoff walk in the sixth and retired the next six batters he faced.
