ADAMS, Mass. — Hikers and those planning to make the summit on Monday's annual Greylock Ramble should bring extra water with them.
 
Effective Thursday, hikers will not be able to refill water bottles at the summit of Mount Greylock because of water quality issues with the potable water tap. This is according to the state Department of Conservation and Recreation.
 
Potable water is available to visitors at the Mount Greylock State Reservation campground and visitor center, and bottled water is available for sale at Bascom Lodge at the summit of Mount Greylock. 
 
Hikers are advised to bring extra water for their hikes up and down the mountain, and to fill their water bottles at the visitors center if necessary. 
 
Important to note, Bascom Lodge will close for the season on Sunday, Oct. 23. Additionally, the road to the summit will close, and amenities and other services at the summit will conclude at the end of the season on Sunday, Oct. 30; however, the visitor's center remains open year round.

GREENFIELD, Mass. – Lydia Gaudreau hit a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth to give the Greylock Thunder 14Us a 7-6 lead en route to a 15-7, come-from-behind victory over the Vermont Rockets in the title game of the Mid-Summer Storm tournament.
 
The Thunder went 3-0 in bracket play on Sunday after finishing pool play with a perfect 3-0 record on Saturday.
 
In the championship game, the Rockets of St. Albans, Vt., jumped out to a 5-0 lead midway through the second inning.
 
Greylock came back to tie it with two in the second and three in the third, but the Rockets scored again in the top of the fourth to take a 6-5 lead.
 
Bayleigh Tatro started the winning rally with a one-out single, and Kyleigh Cooper followed with a single to put two runners on. After Izzy Chenail worked a walk to load the bases, Gaudreau ripped a line drive double to right to score Tatro and Cooper and give Greylock its first lead of the game.
 
Gianna Witek plated Chenail with an RBI groundout to give the Thunder a two-run cushion, and it scored four in the fifth to go ahead, 12-6.
 
Kendall Moran went 2-for-3 with a triple and three RBIs. Cooper, Marlene Eason and Avery Lane each had three hits in the win.
