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!

Taunton, Mass., Knocks Out Pittsfield at Regional

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
STAMFORD, Conn. – Eastern Massachusetts Champion Taunton strung together three two-out hits to score two runs in fifth, breaking open a one-run game and sending it on to a 4-1 win over Pittsfield at the 16-year-old Babe Ruth New England Championship on Monday morning.
 
Logan Severino struck out five and allowed just one hit in a complete-game effort on the mound to pitch Taunton into Tuesday’s regional semi-finals.
 
Pittsfield’s Cooper Reed was nearly as effective in a losing effort.
 
An outfield error led to Taunton’s two first-inning runs. And, in the fifth, Taunton scored two runs on an infield single for the insurance that took the pressure off Severino for his last nine outs.
 
“He pitched a gem,” Pittsfield coach Phil Bock said. “I don’t know exactly where he was in the pitch count. But I believe he was under 80. To throw seven innings the way he did under pressure – great job, excellent. Very proud of the kid.
 
“Proud of the whole team.”
 
And after a 2-0 run through the Western Massachusetts Tournament and a 2-1 performance in pool play in Stamford, the Pittsfield 16s have a lot in which to take pride.
