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, Mass. -- Charlotte Kotski doubled, and Abbigail McLaughlin had a pair of hits Sunday to lead the Berkshire Force 12-and-under travel softball team to a 14-11 win over the Cage Heat Elite in the championship game of the Nightmare on the Dirt tournament.

The Thunder scored six runs in the top of the first and never trailed in the title game win at the Doyle Complex.

Emma Wixsom and Peyton Demary split time in the circle, striking out 11 in the seven-inning win. Wixsom helped their cause by driving in a pair of runs.

The Force, which started bracket play as the two-day tournament's No. 1 seed, advanced to the tournament final on Sunday by beating the Northern Columbia Impact, 12-0, and the Bethlehem Bombers, 9-2.

Against the Impact, McLaughlin and Kotski each homered and drove in three runs.

In the win over Bethlehem, Kotski went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and three RBIs and McLaughlin was 2-for-2 with a double in a six-hit attack for the Force.

In the 10U bracket, the Adams-Cheshire-Savoy Swat defeated the Berkshire Force, 10-9, on Sunday morning to reach the tournament semi-finals, where the Swat fell to the HVS Select, 10-1.
