iBerkshires.com Sports
WESTFIELD, Mass. – The Westfield Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Stars survived a furious comeback by Pittsfield to earn an 8-7 win in Game 2 of the Western Massachusetts Championship Series on Wednesday night.
 
The win makes Westfield the Western Mass champion, but since Westfield is hosting the New England Regional July 17-21, Pittsfield qualifies for the regional at Bullens Field as the section’s runner-up.
 
Westfield scored five times in the bottom of the sixth inning to take an 8-3 lead.
 
But Pittsfield fought back, scoring four times and putting the tying run at second base with one out before Westfield was able to end it.
 
Jake Merwin had a pair of hits, and Mateo Herrera and Troy Maloy each doubled in a seven-hit attack for Pittsfield.
 
Ryder Froio started on the mound and went five innings, striking out three and allowing two earned runs.
