Danbury, Conn. - Cameron McMullen's solo home run in the fifth inning was all the offense that the SteepleCats got in game one of a doubleheader at Rogers Park on Wednesday afternoon but it was all that they needed as they defeated the Danbury Westerners 1-0.

SteepleCats starter Brach Davis allowed just three hits in the complete game shutout. He improved to 2-1 on the season and lowered his ERA to 0.86. Westerners starter Brendan Malkowski also went the distance, gave up just the one run and took the tough luck loss. He improved his ERA to 2.08 but fell to 2-1.

The SteepleCats (13-6) and Westerners (6-13) will begin game two of the doubleheader shortly. For more information, go to www.steeplecats.com.

Multiple Departments Respond to Lanesborough Structure Fire

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Multiple fire departments responded to a structure fire off Narragansett Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Fire Department received a call from the owner of 6 Bangor St. reporting a smoke and flames at around 1:44 p.m.

Firefighters arriving on scene reported heavy smoke emanating from the the 1940s single-family ranch home in the thickly settle neighborhood.

The blaze was brought under control in less than an hour and there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. 

"The homeowner was outside doing some work, evidently, opened the door when she came back in the house, and there were flames and smoke, so she backed out and called us, and that's all we know right now," Deputy Fire Chief Glen Storie said around 2:35 p.m. 

The fire was out at that time, and first responders observed "quite a bit of damage" to the home. The cause is still under investigation. 

Lanesborough, Cheshire, and Pittsfield departments responded to the scene, and Hancock covered the station during the call. 

"The first crew in knocked the fire right down with the first engine," Storie said. 

Smoke could be seen coming from the back of the home. Part of Narragansett Avenue and Bangor Avenue were blocked off while firefighters battled the blaze.
