NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Dom Newton struck out eight in five innings on the mound and went 2-for-4 at the plate Sunday to lead the Southern Berkshire Babe Ruth St. Mary’s team to a 12-7 win over Moresi and Associates in the championship game of the inaugural Northern Berkshire 15-year-old Babe Ruth Tournament at Alcombright Field.

 

Newton doubled, drove in a pair of runs and scored twice for St. Mary’s, which jumped on top with a three-run first inning and never relinquished the lead.

 

Newton allowed two earned runs before giving the ball to Mason Bailey, who pitched two scoreless innings in the sixth and seventh.

 

The long outing from the St. Mary’s starter helped it get through a run of four games in three days, including the semi-finals and finals on Sunday.

 

“We kind of planned it out,” St. Mary’s coach Jeffrey Simmons said. “Cam [Simmons] threw on Friday. He pitched the whole game there. And we saved Dom, who is one of our aces as well, for today.”

 

Simmons struck out 12 in 5 and a third innings in a 9-6 win over North Adams Fire Department on Friday; he also went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs in that game.

 

Simmons played behind the plate in two of St. Mary’s four wins, including the finale, when he tripled in a run, walked twice and scored three times en route to earning the tournament’s most valuable player award.
