Adams-Cheshire Walks Off Little League Win; Pittsfield 12s Roll

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
DALTON, Mass. — Dan Collins hit a two-out double to right-center Sunday to give the Adams-Cheshire Little League 12-year-old All-Stars a 5-4 win over Dalton-Hinsdale in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament. 
 
Adams-Cheshire rallied for two runs in the fifth to tie it and two in the sixth to erase a 4-3 deficit and walk off with the win. 
 
Winning pitcher Maddox Milesi (four strikeouts, one walk) led off the sixth by dropping a single into right field. With one out, he was erased on a fielder’s choice that left Avery Decker at first. 
 
Lucas Benson then worked a walk to put the winning run at first and bring Collins to the plate. 
 
“Danny’s a good hitter,” Adams-Cheshire coach Steve Albareda said. “I knew if he could gap one, we had a chance. Avery gets on base. Lucas gets on first with a walk. He can fly.
 
“Give me a gapper. That’s all I was asking for.”
 
Collins delivered, and Adams-Cheshire improved to 2-0 in round robin play in the five-team tournament.
