GREENFIELD, Mass. – Lydia Gaudreau hit a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth to give the Greylock Thunder 14Us a 7-6 lead en route to a 15-7, come-from-behind victory over the Vermont Rockets in the title game of the Mid-Summer Storm tournament.

The Thunder went 3-0 in bracket play on Sunday after finishing pool play with a perfect 3-0 record on Saturday.

In the championship game, the Rockets of St. Albans, Vt., jumped out to a 5-0 lead midway through the second inning.

Greylock came back to tie it with two in the second and three in the third, but the Rockets scored again in the top of the fourth to take a 6-5 lead.

Bayleigh Tatro started the winning rally with a one-out single, and Kyleigh Cooper followed with a single to put two runners on. After Izzy Chenail worked a walk to load the bases, Gaudreau ripped a line drive double to right to score Tatro and Cooper and give Greylock its first lead of the game.

Gianna Witek plated Chenail with an RBI groundout to give the Thunder a two-run cushion, and it scored four in the fifth to go ahead, 12-6.

Kendall Moran went 2-for-3 with a triple and three RBIs. Cooper, Marlene Eason and Avery Lane each had three hits in the win.

Lane went the distance in the circle against the Rockets, striking out a pair and allowing three earned runs.

In the tournament’s semi-final, Moran went the distance in the circle, striking out two in a 3-2 win over the 413 Panthers of Hampden.

Greylock rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh to reach the title game.

Gaudreau and Witek each singled to start the inning. With one out, Eason singled back to the circle to load the bases.

Gaudreau then scored on a passed ball to make it 2-1. Lane’s two-run single plated Witek and Eason to give the Thunder the win.

Greylock started its Sunday morning with an 11-2 win over the Baystate Thunder of Braintree.

The Thunder is off until it hosts its own tournament at Alcombright Field in North Adams July 11-13.

Adams Zoning Board Talks Signage Bylaw

ADAMS, Mass. — For more than a decade, the Zoning Board has deliberated over several matters involving its "restrictive" sign bylaw.

Now, the board is developing a proposed amendment that would make the bylaw less constraining for businesses while preserving the town’s character and protecting neighboring properties.

The current bylaw has been in effect since around 1986, and for the past 10 to 15 years, it has sparked controversy nearly every year when a new sign is proposed for installation in town, said board member David Rhinemiller.

When it was developed in the 1980s, the goal was to preserve the town’s 1950s and 1960s-era character, he said.

As part of the process, the town surveyed residents about their vision for the community, and the overall feedback favored maintaining that aesthetic, which was then reflected in the zoning bylaws, including restrictions on internally illuminated signs, Rhinemiller said.

The board hopes to make the baseline of the bylaw more realistic and acceptable to modern businesses while ensuring it protects the safety and comfort of the surrounding area, board members said.

"The way our current bylaws are written, virtually anything that somebody might want to do to change the sign regulations to accommodate their business is subject to meeting the requirements of a variance, which we all know is very difficult to do," board member Raymond Gargan Jr. said.
