iBerkshires.com SportsPrint Story | Email Story
HOLDEN, Mass. -- The Bridgewater American 12-year-old All-Stars Saturday ended Pittsfield's run in the Little League state tournament with a 6-0 decision at Holden's CRA field.
 
For the second time in this tournament, one late inning was the difference.
 
In Thursday's tournament opener, it was a six-run five-run Bridgewater sixth that erased a three-run Pittsfield lead in an eventual extra-inning win for Bridgewater.
 
On Saturday, Bridgewater scored four in the bottom of the fifth to open up a two-run game.
 
Luke Schlatz went 2-for-3 with a double, and Anthony Sullivan hit a solo home run to lead Bridgewater's offense. Dominik Mombeleur struck out seven and allowed two hits in a complete-game win on the mound.
 
Myles Morrison-Gould had both Pittsfield hits, going 2-for-2 at the plate.
 
Carmelo Coco, Mason Fox and Sean Rozak split time on the mound, striking out four and allowing two earned runs.
 
Bridgewater moves on to Sunday's State Championship Game and a rematch against Roxbury's Parkway All-Stars, who earned a 5-2 win over Bridgewater on Friday evening.

BRTA Announces Community Shuttle Program

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Regional Transit Authority starts its Community Shuttle Program on Tuesday, Sept. 8. 
 
The program consists of using non-CDL drivers on smaller neighborhood routes. This will allow the BRTA to shift CDL drivers to cover other services. Especially in the evening when we have experienced driver shortages and cancellations.
 
Routes 1, 2, 3, and 34 with the goal of producing immediate relief for riders in North and South County.
 
Routes 11/15, 5 and 21 will be the first routes for Community Shuttle service. Route 21 will run until 9:30 p.m. to make sure South County riders have a way home. 
 
BRTA says it is committed to making sure all residents have the service they need daily.
 
The agency continues to work through staffing challenges, but believes this will alleviate the CDL driver shortage. It says it is committed to a program of continuous training and recruitment. Contact the BRTA if you have an interest in joining the team.
