One of those hits was from North Adams' Gabriel Natividad, who hit a solo home run in the second inning to give the SteepleCats at 1-0 lead.

North Adams led until the bototm of the sixth, when Keene scored four times.

North Adams (1-3) travels to Hartford, Vt., to face Upper Valley on Thursday.

Northern Berkshire EMS Restocks North Adams Veterans Food Pantry

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Northern Berkshire EMS helped fill out the Veterans Pantry in City Hall after an agency-wide food drive.

Veterans Agent Kurtis Durocher was thankful for the much-needed replenishing.

"There is always a need, and that need is exponentially growing," he said, adding he estimates the donation equals between $1,000 to $1,500 of groceries and other supplies.

Angela Swistak, of the Transportation Division, helped organize the fundraising effort. She said she went to City Hall to update her dog licenses and saw a flyer on Durocher's door.

"I came in to get my dog license, and I saw the note on the door looking for donations. So I stopped in and said, 'let's do this'," she said.

Durocher said it was a perfect opportunity because that day he was reaching out to businesses and organizations to see if anyone wanted to run a fundraiser.

Swistak said donation receptacles were placed at the North Adams station, the Williamstown station, and the Council on Aging as well as other locations.
