NORTH HUDSON, N.Y. -- The Greylock Thunder 12-and-under travel softball team Sunday beat the Webster (N.Y.) Xtreme in the final round of Rhyan Towne Memorial Scholarship Fund Softball Tournament.
 
The Thunder went 2-1 in pool play to earn the third seed for bracket play in the tournament.
 
Then it won three straight bracket games to claim the championship.
 
Tenley Biros went 4-0 in the circle for the Thunder, including a complete-game win in the final against Webster.
 
Biros struck out four, walked two and allowed no earned runs in a 10-2 win over the Webster Xtreme.
 
Liana Steiner led Greylock's offense in the final, going 2-for-2 with a double.
 
Alexyss Garncarz also went 2-for-2 in a 12-hit attack for the Thunder. Marie Fachini and Sky Field each went 2-for-3.
 
Greylock scored double digits in four of their wins at the tournament.
 
An exception was its toughest win of the weekend, a 5-4 squeaker against the Queensbury (N.Y.) Spartans. Biros won that game with five strikeouts and one earned run in six innings in the circle.
 
Greylock rallied for two runs in the bottom of the fifth to erase a 4-3 deficit.
 
Genna Greene started the winning rally against Queensbury with a leadoff single.
 
After Garncarz worked a walk, Abby Dieterich singled to load the bases.
 
With two out, Joey Nocher delivered a line drive single to left field to drive in Greene and Garncarz and give the Thunder the lead for good.
 
Biros got three fly ball outs to retire the side in order in the top of the sixth.
 
The Thunder program is holding tryouts for its 12U and 14U teams next week. Information here.

Friday Afternoon Fire Destroys Cheshire Barn

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
 
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A fire on Friday afternoon destroyed a barn at 920 Sand Mill Road.
 
The building is a total loss but firefighters were able to prevent the flames from reaching another nearby barn and the house at Stoney Brook Farm. 
 
Fire Chief Thomas Francesconi said the fire was called in 12:39 p.m. by the homeowners "but it already had a foothold before they noticed it."
 
Responding firefighters found the L-shaped structure fully involved. Adams, Lanesborough, Savoy and Windsor fire companies responded and Williamstown Fire covered the station.
 
The tankers were used to transport water from a nearby brook until a pool could be set up near the scene and water pumped into it. 
 
Northern Berkshire EMS responded and one firefighter was treated at the scene and then taken to Berkshire Medical Center. 
 
Francesconi said there were no other injuries but the owners told him there were 18 chickens in the barn. The structure also had equipment and other materials in it, including a Jeep.
