County's Little League Teams Fall in Openers of Sectional Tournaments

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – It was a rough start for the Berkshire County contingent in the Little League sectionals for 10-year-olds and 11-year-olds on Thursday night.
 
In the 10-year-old bracket, both District 1 Champion Pittsfield and runner-up Dalton-Hinsdale lost on the road.
 
In the 11s, Pittsfield opened the tournament at home but dropped a 10-0 decision in four innings.
 
The good news is that all three teams live to fight another day in the double-elimination tournament, and all three will be close to home on Friday night in elimination games.
 
The 11-year-olds will be back at Deming Park at 5:30 to face the loser of Thursday’s game between the champions from District 2 and District 4.
 
Meanwhile, at Chamberlain Park in Dalton, Dalton-Hinsdale and Pittsfield will meet in a win-or-go-home game and a rematch of last week’s best-of-three district championship series.
 
The 12-year-old Section 1 Tournament, the next step on the road to Williamsport, Pa., gets underway on July 21 with District 1 Champion Pittsfield on the road.
