HOLDEN, Mass. – Samuel Davidson struck out nine in 4 and two-thirds innings Sunday to lead the Holden Little League 11-year-old All-Stars to a 7-5 win over Pittsfield and a Section 1 Championship.

Davidson gave up three earned runs and helped his cause with a double and an RBI.

Wesley Goodale doubled and drove in three runs for Holden.

Pittsfield, which fought its way through the loser’s bracket to reach the tournament’s title round, fought back from a 6-1 deficit on Sunday.

Holden took that lead with a six-run fourth inning.

But Pittsfield got within a pair of runs with a three-run fifth.

Myles Morrison-Gould hit a bases-clearing double to make it a 6-4 game.

Shaun Boehm started the rally with a leadoff single, and Mason Fox and Chase Albano each walked and scored.

Holden, the designated visitor, scored once in the top of the sixth.

But Pittsfield’s Carmelo Coco hit a one-out single, Brody Hamilton doubled and Boehm drove in a run with a groundout to get the margin back to two runs.

Holden reliever Ryan Sturrock ended the game with a groundball out to dash Pittsfield’s hopes.

Morrison-Gould struck out a pair and allowed two earned runs in 3 and a third innings on the mound. Fox gave up one run in 2 and two-thirds innings of relief.

Coco led an eight-hit Pittsfield attack, going 2-for-3.

Teacher of the Month: Nickole Halvorsen

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — For many students, kindergarten is their first experience in a school setting and the beginning of ongoing growth and change throughout their lives.

Kindergarten teacher Nickole Halvorsen strives to instill in her students the foundational academic and social-emotional skills they need to succeed not only in her classroom, but throughout their educational journey and beyond.

It is this dedication, along with the fun, safe and welcoming environment that students describe her as cultivating, that has earned her the iBerkshires.com Teacher of the Month designation.

The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, features distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here.

The end of the year was bittersweet for Halvorsen and her students as they said goodbye to Morningside Community School, which closed its doors for the final time in May.

"Now at the end of the year, it gets sad and a little more emotional, especially this year because this is our last year at Morningside," she said during her interview in May.

So, really focusing on coming in, being here, being present [and] consistent for them matters the most for me, and they make me want to be here. I want to have fun with them. I want to enjoy every last bit we can of being in the school building."
