Letter: Eleanor Sonsini Shelter Left Out

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

So I see the story about the ground breaking for a new building for the [Berkshire] Humane Society and I can't help but wonder, 'Why are funds and news articles always going to/about the Humane Society?'

Why isn't the Sonsini Shelter given the same funds and publicity? Am I missing something? Sonsini needs a new facility, Sonsini needs funds!

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.
