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!

Rip City Team Wins New York Tournament

Community submission
TROY, N.Y. -- Ryder Froio hit .714 in five games last week to lead a 13-and-under travel team from Pittsfield's Rip City to a tournament championship.
 
Rip City went 3-0 in pool play, beating its opponents by a combined 40-5, and then won the Last Man Standing Tournament's semi-final and final in bracket play to claim the title.
 
"These guys cruised through pool play, then faced some adversity in the single-elimination games as we had to play back-to-back games ona  very hot day on Sunday afternoon," coach Rick Paris said.
 
Lador Lawson, like Froio, had a strong tournament at the plate, going .636 with three doubles.
 
In the championship game, Froio went 6 and a third innings on the mound on short rest, striking out four in a 10-9 win over the [Saratoga Springs] Spa City Stallions.
 
Lawson got the win on the mound with two-thirds of an inning pitched.
 
"Ryder is a workhorse," Paris said. "I tried taking him out after four innings, and he talked me into letting him stay in since he had a very efficient fifth. HE again had a great fifth, but I could tell he was getting tired, as they all were.
