NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Nelphie Lopez hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh Wednesday to give the North Adams SteepleCats a 2-1 win over Sanford, Maine, in the first game of a double-header at Joe Wolfe Field.

Pittsfield's Nick Guachione went 2-for-3 and scored a run in the win, which extended North Adams' winning streak to seven games.

Sanford came back to earn an 8-5 win and a double-header split in the nightcap.

In Game 1, A.J. Petraitis struck out four hitters in six innings, allowing one run, before giving the ball to Eli Bridenthal. Bridenthal struck out two in a scoreless seventh to earn the win.

In the Game 2 loss for North Adams, Robert Stang went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, and Michael Toth doubled and drove in a pair of runs.

The SteepleCats (11-15) travel to face Danbury, Conn., 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.
