SALISBURY, Md. -- The Berkshire Force 16-and-under travel softball team got the tying run to the plate in the top of the fourth, but its rally fell short in a 6-4 decision on Tuesday at the United States Specialty Sports Association's Eastern National Championship.
 
Berkshire's second game of the day went down to the wire with Maryland's Brunswick Steam ahead, 6-1, after three innings.
 
With the tournament's time constraing making the fourth inning the Force's last chance, it got a one-out single from Julia McComish to start a three-run rally.
 
Ava McMahon singled to put two runners on, and with two out, Lexi Spratling singled to left to make it 6-2.
 
Amelia Polidoro worked a walk to load the bases, and Madilyn Demary earned a seven-pitch walk to bring in a run, making it 6-3. Spratling scored on a wild pitch, but Brunswick's pitcher got a groundball out to end the rally.
 
McMahon went three innings in the circle, allowing three earned runs in the loss.
