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.

Michael Radomski - August 05, 2008
Pittsfield Dukes

MANCHESTER – With a 9-3 win at Manchester this evening, the Newport Gulls have advanced to the NECBL Semifinals to play the Pittsfield Dukes in a best of three series.

The six run victory for the Gulls completes a two game sweep of the Silkworms and puts Newport in the semifinals for the 9th time in franchise history. The Gulls will take on the Pittsfield Dukes who swept the North Adams SteepleCats on Sunday night 7-2 at Joe Wolfe Field. The Dukes are making their first playoff appearance in the NECBL and will play at Cardines Field in Newport on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35.

Alex MacKenzie (Canisius) is the probable starter for Pittsfield. MacKenzie is 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA and two complete games this season. He will be opposed by Geoff Brown (Univ of Washington) who is 4-2 on the season with a 2.23 earned run average for the Gulls.

The two teams have met six times this season with Newport winning four of the games in the series. The last meeting came on July 31st in the regular season finale for first place. The two teams battled into the 11th inning and Newport escaped with the 2-1 win.

Game two of the playoff series will be at Wahconah Park in Pittsfield on Wednesday beginning at seven o’clock. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Dukes box office at 105 Wahconah Street or by calling 413 447 DUKES (3853).
