PITTSFIELD, Mass. — In spring 2022, the Wahconah Park grandstand had to be closed to fans due to structural concerns. 
 
The City of Pittsfield and Wahconah Park Restoration Committee is considering how best to proceed with a project that returns fans to a safe grandstand structure that meets handicapped accessibility requirements while providing a better fan, player and overall experience.
 
The Wahconah Park Restoration Committee has launched a short survey to gather feedback around various aspects of the project. This survey is now available to the public and can beaccessed through the city's website: https://www.cityofpittsfield.org/departments/community_development/wahconah_park_restoration.php
 
The 8-question survey is not exclusive to city residents.
 
There is also an opportunity for respondents to provide in-depth feedback on anything related to this project. The survey also includes a FAQ document that further explains initial considerations of the site, building code and other relevant information.
 
For additional information about this survey and project, contact Jim McGrath at jmcgrath@cityofpittsfield.org.

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.
