More Snow

The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.

We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute.

New Pittsfield player added to All Star Game

- July 18, 2008

PITTSFIELD – The Dukes already have 7 players selected to the All Star team but they will have to make room for one more teammate. Craig Hertler (San Jose State) was added to the Southern Division All Star team last night for the injured Kevin Carby (Tenn Wesleyan College) of the North Adams SteepleCats.

Carby was named the backup second baseman to the team last Saturday when the teams were selected at the Dan Duquette Sports Academy but a midweek injury will keep him out of the game this upcoming Sunday at Fuessenich Park in Torrington, Connecticut.

Kevin Carby and Cliff Hicks (Franklin Pierce) of the Keene Swamp Bats collided with each other on a groundball on July 15th and Carby stayed motionless on the ground for several moments.

Hicks stayed in the game but Carby went to the hospital as he was taken out right after the play.

Craig Hertler will fill the spot left by Carby as the backup second baseman.

Hertler is having a fine season for the first place Pittsfield Dukes of the Southern Division. For most of the season he has been top five in many statistical categories. The Dukes second baseman is currently 5th in the NECBL with 24 runs scored, fourth with twelve stolen bases, and second with six sacrifice bunts.

With the one hit win last night, the Dukes improve to 19-11 on the season and sit 3 ½ games up on the Newport Gulls in frist place in the Southern Division. Pittsfield will host the Torrington Twisters tomorrow in a doubleheader beginning at six o’clock. Alex MacKenzie (Canisius) and Mike Woytek (Wright State) as the probable starters for the Dukes tonight. The Twisters and Dukes will play two games, each scheduled for seven innings, and then STAR 101.7 FM and WBRK AM 1340 will sponsor the fireworks show after the second game.
Fans can listen to the game to and all Pittsfield Dukes games on the NECBL Broadcast Network by going to the site at http://www.teamline.cc/sportpage?teamcode=6301&eventcode=5
Tickets are still available for Dukes’ games at Wahconah Park. Tickets can be purchased at the Dukes box office at 105 Wahconah Street or by calling 413 447 DUKE (3853).
