SteepleCats Fall to Vermont on Hometown Heroes Night

iBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The Vermont Mountaineers Saturday beat the North Adams SteepleCats, 10-1, on Hometown Heroes Night at Joe Wolfe Field.
 
Prior to the game, first responders from throughout North County plus the Massachusetts Forest Fire Control and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation were recognized in pregame ceremonies.
 
Many of the emergency services brought their cruisers, firetrucks, ambulances and even a snowplow for families to check out before the game.
 
Representatives from more than a dozen agencies ringed the infield for the pregame ceremony, which included a performance of the Star-Spangled Banner by North Adams Police Officer Christopher Voss.
 
Voss, who earned a master’s degree in vocal performance in opera from the University of Georgia in 2014, is a Lexington native who moved to the area during the COVID-19 pandemic and recently joined the NAPD.
 
The ceremonial first pitch was thrown out by NAPD Lt. Anthony Beverly, a 1999 graduate of Drury High School who served in the U.S. Marine Corps prior to joining the city’s police force in 2006.
 
Once the game got underway, Vermont built an 8-0 lead in the first five innings.
