Adams-Cheshire Earns Berth in District 1 Little League Final

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
ADAMS, Mass. – The Adams-Cheshire Little League All-Stars got an inside-the-park home run from Dennis Wells-Vidal to highlight a 13-hit attack in a 9-2 win over Great Barrington in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament on Sunday afternoon.
 
The win sends Adams-Cheshire into the championship round of the county phase of the Williamsport tournament. The district tournament hosts will play Pittsfield on Thursday at 5:30 p.m, at Willard “Beaver” Bard Park for the right to represent District 1 in the sectional tournament.
 
Oliver Quinto went 3-for-3 with three RBIs, and Maddox Milesi and Mason Kucka had two hits apiece in Sunday’s win, the final of pool play for both teams and, essentially, a semi-final for two squads that entered the day with matching 1-1 records.
 
“We’ve been expecting to break out [offensively] any time,” Adams-Cheshire coach Steve Albareda said. “I’ve been waiting for it. When we piece together a couple, we can hit. That’s for sure.”
 
Milesi’s infield single in the bottom of the first drove in the only run scored in the first two innings.
 
A-C broke through for four runs in the third and four more in the fourth to take a 9-0 lead.
 
Lador Lawson started the third inning with a single to left, and he came all the way around to score on Colton Braman’s triple to center field. Quinto then drove in a run with a single but was erased when Great Barrington turned a 6-4-3 double play.
