Rumbolt Law Advances in County Cal Ripken Tournament

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Rumbolt Law Tuesday overcame a 5-2 deficit and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the sixth to earn an 8-5 win over North Adams Tree and Landscape in the Berkshire County Cal Ripken minors division semi-final.
 
Andre Carasone struck out six in two innings of work on the mound and went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles and four RBIs as Rumbolt improved to 8-0-2 and earned a berth in the league championship game, tentatively scheduled for Saturday morning.
 
Rumbolt awaits the winner of the other semi-final between North Adams Police Department and Wildcat Sports Group of Lee, whose game was postponed to Wednesday.
 
Rumbolt scored three times in the top of the fourth to tie it and added three more on four hits the next inning to go ahead for good.
 
“We got a lot of contributions from a lot of players,” Rumbolt coach John Carasone said. “Like that last inning, when we went ahead, the first hitter [Kip Reach] hadn’t had a hit all year and hit a line drive to start the inning, and he got knocked in by someone [Theo Bengtson-Belin] who hadn’t had a hit all year. And he had a legit, nice hit.
 
“So it’s just an awesome team victory for us. We’re really excited.”
 
NA Tree jumped on top early when Riley Briggs hit a sacrifice fly to plate Porter Gazaille in the top of the first inning.
