WINDSOR, Conn. – Peyton Demary raced home on an error in the bottom of the fourth inning Friday to give the Berkshire Force a 6-5 walkoff win and a 3-0 record on day one of a tournament at the End of Summer Challenge at the Fast Pitch Nation complex.
 
The winning rally against the CT Titans started with a leadoff walk and a single by Demary.
 
After the lead runner was eliminated on Emma Wixsom’s single, McKinley Bushika stepped to the plate and put the ball in play.
 
A miscue allowed Demary to score from second base and end the game.
 
Wixsom and Demary split time in the circle against the Titans, striking out one apiece and allowing three earned runs.
 
The Force started its day on Friday against the Bethel (Conn.) Blast, earning a 6-2 win behind Demary and Wixsom. Demary struck out a pair in two innings in the circle, and Wixsom delivered two scoreless innings.
