Pittsfield 12-Year-Olds Win District 1 Little League Title

DALTON, Mass. – It took a total team effort for the Pittsfield Little League 12-year-old All-Stars to claim an 11-0 win over Adams-Cheshire in Wednesday’s Don Gleason District 1 Championship Game.
 
And that is exactly what it got as Shaun Boehm hit a pair of triples, and Carmelo Coco went 2-for-2 with a double and a pair of RBIs to help send Pittsfield into next week’s Section 1 tournament, one step away from the state tourney.
