ROCHESTER, N.H. -- Three different pitchers combined on a three-hitter Saturday morning as the Pittsfield Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Stars earned an 8-0 win over New Hampshire State Champion Keene at the New England Regional Championship.
Mason Daley, Brendan Merwin and Jason Fields combined to strike out eight hitters as Pittsfield improved to 2-0 in pool play at the eight-team tournament.

Offensively, Pittsfield made the most of its nine hits, which included a 2-for-3 day at the plate from Cameron Reynolds, who doubled and drove in a pair of runs.
Merwin went 2-for-2 with an RBI and walked once. Eli Kristensen also went 2-for-2.
