Berkshire Thunder Stays Unbeaten in BABL

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Aaron Ricci went 4-for-4 with three RBIs Saturday to lead the Berkshire Thunder to victory over Tunnel City Freight as the Thunder stayed unbeaten in the Berkshire Adult Baseball League’s 33-and-over division.
 
Berkshire improved to 13-0 this summer and completed a two-game season sweep of second-place Tunnel City (9-4) in a game called in the top of the sixth inning due to rain with the Thunder leading, 9-0.
 
Six of those runs came in that sixth inning in a steady downpour.
 
After losing his grip on a pitch that sailed far behind the batter, Tunnel City player/manager Mike Cirullo decided to put an end to the contest.
 
Berkshire, which took a 6-2 win against Tunnel City back in early June, got all the offense it needed on Sunday with a run in the top of the second.
 
Corey Lehmuth dropped a one-out single into right field and moved into scoring position when Johnny Goodnow worked a walk.
 
Ricci then singled to right to drive in Lehmuth and make it 1-0.
