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.

Friday Afternoon Fire Destroys Cheshire Barn

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
 
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A fire on Friday afternoon destroyed a barn at 920 Sand Mill Road.
 
The building is a total loss but firefighters were able to prevent the flames from reaching another nearby barn and the house at Stoney Brook Farm. 
 
Fire Chief Thomas Francesconi said the fire was called in 12:39 p.m. by the homeowners "but it already had a foothold before they noticed it."
 
Responding firefighters found the L-shaped structure fully involved. Adams, Lanesborough, Savoy and Windsor fire companies responded and Williamstown Fire covered the station.
 
The tankers were used to transport water from a nearby brook until a pool could be set up near the scene and water pumped into it. 
 
Northern Berkshire EMS responded and one firefighter was treated at the scene and then taken to Berkshire Medical Center. 
 
Francesconi said there were no other injuries but the owners told him there were 18 chickens in the barn. The structure also had equipment and other materials in it, including a Jeep.
