WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — No injuries were reported Wednesday after a car drove into a house at 1033 Simonds Road (Route 7).
 
Williamstown Police and Fire and Northern Berkshire EMS were at the scene at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday cleaning up and waiting for a wrecker to remove the vehicle.
 
The lone occupant of the car, the driver, had been evaluated and refused transport to the hospital, officials said.
 
Wednesday's rain may have contributed to the accident.
 
Tire tracks were visible on the property to the south leading up to the car, a light gray sedan that hit the structure directly below a "No Trespassing" sign.
 
Williamstown Police are investigating the accident and the building inspector was called to the scene to inspect the property.

Rumbolt Law Wins Cal Ripken Minors Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Asher Garbatini Sunday went 2-for-2 with a double at the plate and threw two shutout innings on the mound to lead Rumbolt Law to a 6-3 win over North Adams Police Department in the championship game of the Berkshire County Cal Ripken minors division tournament.
 
NAPD rallied from deficits of 2-0 and 3-2 before Rumbolt rallied for three runs in bottom of the fourth inning to put the game out of reach.
 
Andre Carasone made the three-run lead stand up, pitching out of a second-and-third jam in the fifth and leaving the bases loaded in the sixth to secure the win.
 
Offensively, every player on Rumbolt reached base and six of its 12 players scored a run.
 
Rumbolt coach John Carasone said his team grew tremendously over the last half year.
 
"We had a really bad fall ball season," he said. "This team could not win. And then we came back here in the spring, and we couldn't lose.
 
"Andre [Carasone] and Asher [Garbatini] worked their tails off in the off-season, in particular. They came back to pitch really well."
