Pittsfield 10-Year-Olds Cruise to County Final

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Luca Bassi struck out 10, and the Pittsfield Little League 10-and-under All-Stars scored five times in the bottom of the fifth en route to a 9-0 win over Dalton-Hinsdale on Friday night.
 
The win gives Pittsfield a 2-0 record in the round-robin phase of the three-team tournament and a place in Friday’s District 1 Championship game back at Deming Park.
 
Dalton-Hinsdale will play Adams-Cheshire on Sunday at 2 p.m. for a berth in the final.
 
Bassi, who threw three innings to start a five-inning win in Pittsfield’s tournament opener on Wednesday, did not give up the ball on Friday until there was one out in the top of the sixth.
 
“Man, he was dominant,” Pittsfield coach Matt Stracuzzi said of his starter. “He had it going from the start. And I was only planning on going three innings. But he was so dominant in the game. And after the third inning, it was still a 1-0 game.”
 
That is because Camden Duda was very effective for Dalton-Hinsdale in his start on the mound.
 
Duda struck out one, walked one, and pitched around runners in scoring position in the first and second innings.
