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.

Adams Parts Ways With Police Chief
By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The town has parted ways with its police chief.
K. Scott Kelley "is no longer employed by the Town of Adams," according to interim Town Administrator Holli Jayko.
His departure follows an executive session held by the Selectmen last Wednesday to discuss a personnel matter other than professional competence, including health or discipline, or dismissal.
A request for further information on whether Kelley's leaving was through resignation or termination was not provided, or whether his contract had been paid out.
"The Town does not comment on personnel matters and will have no further comment on this matter at this time," responded Selectmen Chair John Duval via email on Friday.
Kelley, who moved here to take the post of chief in 2021, has reportedly sold his home.
