PITTSFIELD, Mass. – It will be the Berkshire Force against the Berkshire Force when the county’s summer travel league championship is decided at the 14-and-under level on Monday evening at the Doyle Complex.
The Force Blue Friday scored seven times in the first inning and went on to a 15-0 win over the Northern Berkshire Girls Softball League Klein Building and Remodeling squad.
At the other end of the complex, Friday, the Force Black scored five times in the top of the sixth to break open a three-run game and went on to a 12-6 win over Dalton in the league’s other semi-final.
The two Pittsfield-based squads will play for the league title at 5:45 on Monday.
Daisy Caron was dominant on the mound for the second-seeded Force Blue in its win over Northern Berkshire.
She struck out 11, including four of the last five hitters she faced, in the five-inning win.
Northern Berkshire got just one hit, from Chloe Cabana in the top of the fourth. She ended up advancing to third base, but Caron got a called third strike for the final out.
Offensively, she helped the Force cause with a two-run triple in the first inning.
Liana Steiner went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, and Julie LeBarron drove in a run with a single and reached base three times, scoring in all three of her plate appearances.
Northern Berkshire's Kendall Moran went three innings in the circle, allowing four earned runs.

BVNA Nurses Raise Funds for Berkshire Bounty
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Nursing Association members of the Berkshire Visiting Nurses Association raised $650 to help with food insecurity in Berkshire County.
The nurses and health-care professionals of BVNA have given back to the community every holiday season for the last three years. The first year, they adopted a large family, raised money, bought, wrapped and delivered the gifts for the family. Last year, they sold raffle tickets and the money raised went to the charitable cause of the winner.
This year, with food insecurity as a rising issue, they chose to give to Berkshire Bounty in Great Barrington.
They sold raffle tickets for a drawing to win one of two items: A lottery ticket tree or a gift certificate tree, each worth $100. They will be giving the organization the donation this month.
Berkshire Bounty seeks to improve food security in the county through food donations from retailers and local farms; supplemental purchases of healthy foods; distribution to food sites and home deliveries; and collaborating with partners to address emergencies and improve the food system.
