Berkshire Force 12-Year-Olds' Run Ends at World Series

FLORENCE, Ala. -- The Berkshire Force 12-and-under travel softball team ended its run at the Babe Ruth World Series the way it began: with a game against Davidson, N.C.
 
Unfortunately for the Force, the second meeting went the other way as Davidson earned a 12-6 win on Tuesday to elimninate the Force in the tournament's consolation "Diamond Bracket."
 
Davidson scored six runs in the top of the sixth inning to break open a tie game after the Force battled back from an early 5-0 deficit to tie the game twice.
 
Berkshire scored four runs in the bottom of the third to get within a run and tied it when Kaylana Altman singled and scored in the fourth to make it 5-5.
 
In the fifth, Davidson took a 6-5 lead, but Giannah Moses delivered an RBI single with two out in the bottom of the fifth to tie it.
 
Davidson just had too much offense in the top of the sixth.
 
And the North Carolinians' pitcher overcame a walk and a single in the bottom of the sixth to preserve the six-run margin.
