HOLDEN, Mass. -- The Bridgewater American Little League All-Stars Thursday scored three runs in the top of the seventh and went on to a 15-14 win over Pittsfield in the first round of the State Tournament.
 
Pittsfield scored twice in the extra inning and had the winning run on base when Bridgewater's pitcher got a ground ball out to end a back-and-forth contest.
 
Bridgewater started the high-scoring game with three in the top of the first, but Pittsfield answered with five in the bottom of the frame.
 
Bridgewater then scored four in the top of the second to go ahead by two, but Pittsfield scored another five in the bottom of the frame for a 10-7 lead.
