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!

Westfield 13U Babe Ruth Team Holds off Pittsfield for Win

iBerkshires.com Sports
WESTFIELD, Mass. – The Westfield Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Stars survived a furious comeback by Pittsfield to earn an 8-7 win in Game 2 of the Western Massachusetts Championship Series on Wednesday night.
 
The win makes Westfield the Western Mass champion, but since Westfield is hosting the New England Regional July 17-21, Pittsfield qualifies for the regional at Bullens Field as the section’s runner-up.
 
Westfield scored five times in the bottom of the sixth inning to take an 8-3 lead.
 
But Pittsfield fought back, scoring four times and putting the tying run at second base with one out before Westfield was able to end it.
 
Jake Merwin had a pair of hits, and Mateo Herrera and Troy Maloy each doubled in a seven-hit attack for Pittsfield.
 
Ryder Froio started on the mound and went five innings, striking out three and allowing two earned runs.
