WESTFIELD, Mass. – Gavin Maffuccio doubled in a pair of runs in a four-run rally that put the Pittsfield Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Stars on top for good in a 7-2 win over Westfield to claim the Western Massachusetts Championship on Thursday night.

 

Sebastian Herrera went 2-for-3 with an RBI, and Sam Gyurjan doubled in a run for Pittsfield, which earned a berth in the New England Regional Championship with a sweep of the best-of-three series against Westfield.

 

Pittsfield got on top early at Bullens Field with a run in the top of the first, but Westfield answered with two runs — one unearned – in the bottom of the frame.

 

That was all the offense Robby Bazinet allowed in five innings of work to earn the win on the hill.

 

Bazinet struck out five, walked three and allowed just one hit before giving the ball to Herrera, who pitched a scoreless sixth. Jason Fields finished up in the seventh.
