Zerbato Throws No-Hitter for Post 68 Legion Team

iBerkshires.com SportsPrint Story | Email Story
WESTIELD, Mass. – Camden Zerbato fired a no-hitter Tuesday to lead the Pittsfield Post 68-1 American Legion Baseball team to an 8-0 win over Westfield.
 
Zerbato struck out eight and walked just two in the victory.
 
“Camden isn’t in our normal pitching rotation but as the regular season is wrapping up, and our pitchers were still resting from their pitch counts – I told him he would start tonight and he wanted the ball,” Post 68-1 coach Dusty Burdette said. “He is a gamer. He does anything you ask him too. I’ve coached Camden since he was 12 years old, and this is the last year I will coach him and for him to do that in his last year with Legion was incredible.”
 
Zerbato helped his cause by going 1-for-3 at the plate.
 
Simon Mele led Pittsfield’s offense, going 2-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBIs.
 
Jay Codey was 1-for-3 with a double and drove in two runs. Gavin O’Donnell was 1-for-4 with a single and two RBIs.
 
Post 68-1 (10-1) is home on Wednesday to face Monson Post 241 at Buddy Pellerin Field at Clapp Park.

Dalton Finance Makes Reserve Fund Transfers

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Finance Committee made two reserve fund transfers last Wednesday night. 
 
The reserve fund balance is currently $60,000. This is the first reserve fund transfer the town has made this fiscal year, committee clerk Karen Schmidt said. 
 
A transfer to the vocational education tuition account for $16,000 was approved. The original appropriation was $605,020 and the present balance is $4,527. 
 
It had been previously demonstrated that setting the budget for this account can be challenging due to the uncertainty about how many students will choose to attend vocational education programs.
 
The vocational education account was reduced by $90,000 during a September special town meeting; however, a spot opened up at a vocational program, so a student decided to transfer after the start of the second quarter. 
 
A transfer for the employee fringe benefits account was approved for $10,000. The original appropriation was $64,180. 
 
The present balance is $4,412.77 and is not sufficient to cover the vacation payouts and sick buy backs of the six employees who left this year.
