Letter: Bridge/Road repair

To the Editor:

I sympathize with the people on Holmes Road with their bridge in disrepair. Just come on out to the Peck's Road Causeway, Hancock area, and you'll see more barrels and barriers and one-lane lights in such a small area.

It's a shame that the city has let its infrastructure get that bad but mind you we've got bike paths and one-way roads and beautification on North Street. It reminds me of Atlantic City ,one block off of North Street and it turns into a city of disrepair with rising crime!

Pittsfield, which earned a berth in the winner-take-all final game with a walkoff win at Holden on Sunday, battled back from a 6-1 deficit to lead midway through the third only to see Holden scratch out a run in the fifth to tie it and generate the game-winner one inning later.
 
It was the third time in Pittsfield’s five sectional tournament games that the game was decided in the winning team’s final at-bat.
 
After seeing his squad play five games in five days, including four on the road, Pittsfield coach Matt Stracuzzi told his players they played with guts and made him proud in the postgame ceremony.
 
“They showed a lot of heart,” Stracuzzi said moments later. “We played some really good games. The only bad game we had was [Friday] against Dalton. … But we played some tough games on the road against some good teams, and we prevailed because we stuck together.
 
“And they did the little things.”
 
And on Monday, when Pittsfield faced a little adversity early in the night, it pushed through.
