Pittsfield 12-Year-Olds Win District 1 Little League Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
DALTON, Mass. – It took a total team effort for the Pittsfield Little League 12-year-old All-Stars to claim an 11-0 win over Adams-Cheshire in Wednesday’s Don Gleason District 1 Championship Game.
 
And that is exactly what it got as Shaun Boehm hit a pair of triples, and Carmelo Coco went 2-for-2 with a double and a pair of RBIs to help send Pittsfield into next week’s Section 1 tournament, one step away from the state tourney.

“And I told them, OK, you get two, three, four out, whatever it is, six, seven, eight is gonna burn you if you don’t stay the course.”
 
Not that one through four can’t, mind you. But if pitchers do limit the damage at the top of the order – as Adams’s Lador Lawson and Maddox Milesi did on Wednesday night – a mine field awaits.
