PITTSFIELD - With silent auctions during both of their home playoff games, the Pittsfield Dukes raised exactly $1,000. for the Jimmy Fund. A Team USA autographed bat, helmet, and ball package sold for $225.00, a Pittsfield Dukes autographed shirt and bat package sold for $125.00, and a North Adams SteepleCats autographed bat and ball package sold for $50.00.

"We're excited about it," said Dukes Director of Marketing Scott Bloomberg. "Being able to raise money for great organizations like the Jimmy Fund, and being involved in the community, are things that we take pride in. We're going to do even more of it in the future." The Dukes have also contributed to Berkshire County Arc, The Brien Center, the Wahconah High School Cheerleaders, Relay for Life, and other local organizations this season.

The Dukes would like to thank Eastover Resort, Mazzeo's Ristorante, and American Speedy Printing for donating items for the silent auction. The auction was originally planned for a home game on July 27th, but was postponed due to the weather. The Dukes season ended on August 6th with a 6-3 loss to the Newport Gulls in the NECBL Southern Division Championship Series.
