PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Health Systems' Radiation Oncology services has opened in its new location at the BMC Cancer Center.

The new Radiation Oncology clinic at BMC Cancer Center has state-of-the- art technology, featuring two new linear accelerators. Both units, a Varian IX, and a Tomotherapy HD, are designed to provide highly precise treatment and targeting of the radiation therapy, and significantly reduce any impact on surrounding healthy tissue. The accelerators can obtain either CT or X-ray images to increase the precision and accuracy of the radiation beams. Utilizing a computerized treatment planning system to calculate treatment dose and coordinate targeting, beams can rotate around the body entering from numerous directions. BMC has also installed a new CT Simulator for Radiation Oncology, which provides advanced treatment planning for each patient prior to receiving radiation therapy.

“Berkshire Health Systems has a long-standing commitment to providing the most advanced Radiation Oncology treatment therapies,” said Dr. Wade Gebara, medical director of Radiation Oncology services at BMC. “This significant investment by the health system is designed to focus on our current needs and also the needs of the foreseen future for our community.”

DALTON, Mass. – The Pittsfield Little League 12U All-Stars rode a powerful offensive performance and dominant pitching to a 12-4 victory over Dalton-Hinsdale in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament opener for both teams on Thursday.

 

Dalton-Hinsdale struck first in the opening inning. Graylan Milano worked a leadoff walk and quickly moved into scoring position with aggressive baserunning before Tye Shove lined an RBI single to give Dalton-Hinsdale an early 1-0 advantage. Shove and Tony Zaniboni each swiped bases to keep the pressure on, but Pittsfield starter Hector Reyes-Colon settled in, getting a strikeout and a groundout to limit any further damage.

 

Pittsfield answered immediately, and did so in emphatic fashion.

 

Leading off the bottom of the first, Myles Morrison-Gould launched a solo home run to tie the game. Mason Fox followed with a single and stole second before Sean Rozak ripped a two-run double into the gap, giving Pittsfield a 3-1 lead after one inning.

 

 

Dalton-Hinsdale scratched across another run in the second after a hit batter, a walk, and aggressive baserunning, but Pittsfield’s offense continued to surge in the bottom half. Rozak reached and eventually scored before Chase Albano delivered an RBI double. Brody Hamilton then blasted a two-run homer, and Morrison-Gould followed with his second long ball of the evening, extending Pittsfield’s lead to 7-2.

 

Dalton-Hinsdale showed plenty of fight in the third. Milano singled and Parker Demarsh reached before Shove drove home both runners with a clutch two-run double to trim the deficit to 7-4. Reyes-Colon responded by recording another strikeout to end the inning and prevent further damage.

 

Pittsfield’s pitching staff took control from there.
