NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - The North Adams SteepleCats (19-21) could not send the Keene Swamp Bats (11-28) back home with a loss Wednesday night.
 
The team with the New England Collegiate Baseball League's worst record prevailed 5-3 a Joe Wolfe Field. Not once did the SteepleCats take the lead. Still, even with the loss, the 'Cats remain in a playoff spot because the Valley Blue Sox (18-21) lost to the Sanford Mainers (21-18), 7-3.
 
With a sense of urgency, the SteepleCats sent six men to the plate in the bottom of the ninth. Down 5-2, a one out RBI single from Zach Wall scored Rob Calabrese. That was the first time they scored since bringing one run each across the plate in both the bottom of the second and bottom of the third.
 
Thursday is an off day for the SteepleCats. Their penultimate game is Friday when they're once again on the road playing the Laconia Muskrats (21-19).

Clarksburg Sees Race for Select Board Seat

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town will see a three-way race for a seat on the Select Board in May. 
 
Colton Andrews, Seth Alexander and Bryana Malloy returned papers by Wednesday's deadline to run for the three-year term vacated by Jeffrey Levanos. 
 
Andrews ran unsuccessfully for School Committee and is former chairman of the North Adams Housing Authority, on which he was a union representative. He is also president of the Pioneer Valley Building Trades Council.
 
Malloy and Alexander are both newcomers to campaigning. Malloy is manager of industrial relations for the Berkshire Workforce Board and Alexander is a resident of Gates Avenue. 
 
Alexander also returned papers for several other offices, including School Committee, moderator, library trustee and the five-year seat on the Planning Board. He took out papers for War Memorial trustee and tree warden but did not return them and withdrew a run for Board of Health. 
 
He will face off in the three-year School Committee seat against incumbent Cynthia Brule, who is running for her third term, and fellow newcomer Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. 
 
Incumbent Ronald Boucher took out papers for a one-year term as moderator but did not return them. He was appointed by affirmation in 2021 when no won ran and accepted the post again last year as a write-in.
