NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Bryce Hoff went 6 and two-third innings on the mound Monday to lead the Pittsfield Babe Ruth 13-year-old All-Stars to a 7-2 win over Brattleboro, Vt., at the New England Regional Championships.

The win sends Pittsfield into Tuesday morning’s semi-final game against Eastern Massachusetts Champion Plymouth at 10 a.m. at North Providence High School. A win in the morning will send Pittsfield to the 4 p.m. regional final to decide who goes to the World Series.

On Monday, Hoff struck out three and walked one before giving the ball to Aiden Arseneau to finish up the seventh inning.

Kydd Kearns led Pittsfield offensively, going 2-for-2 and driving in a run a four-run fourth inning that gave Pittsfield a 5-1 lead.

Arseneau and Jace Coco each had a pair of hits.

Pittsfield improved to 3-1 at the regional with the win. Plymouth, which was in the other four-team pool at the eight-team regional, won its pool with a 3-0 record and had a bye into Tuesday morning’s game.

Dalton Special Town Meeting Rejects Land Buy for Police Station

Voters hold up cards to be counted on a vote to cast secret ballots on purchase of land question. Voters rejected the land purchase but authorized buying electronic devices for future voting.

DALTON, Mass. — A special town meeting on Monday night authorized 11 of 12 warrant articles, only nixing a contentious proposal to buy land for a police station.

After nearly an hour of discussion, 113 voters rejected by secret ballot the purchase of land on West Housatonic Street for $69,700.

Article 2 needed two-thirds to pass, and failed 65-48, about 10 votes short.

A motion was made by Robert Collins for the article to be voted on by secret ballot to ensure ballot privacy, which was approved by 72-19.

Town officials have been debating options for a new police station for more than year, focusing on several parcels that could host a new building and, more recently, the possibility of a combined fire and police station. These included the West Housatonic site, another on Main street and the vacant Dalton High lot next to the Senior Center.

Resident Adelard Nadeau Jr., who previously served on the Fire District's Prudential Committee, argued that the town is spending money that it does not have.

He advocated for the lot by the Senior Center which he believed to be cheaper and shovel ready.
