Pittsfield Opens 10U Little League Tournament with a Win

By Stephen Dravis
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Caleb Tiereney and Braiden Coon each went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles Wednesday to lead the Pittsfield Little League 10U All-Stars to a 15-2 win over Adams-Cheshire in the first game of the District 1 Tournament at Deming Park.
 
Luca Bassi also doubled twice and threw three scoreless innings to earn the win in the five-inning game as the starter on the mound.
 
Pittsfield came out swinging and connecting.
 
Six of its first seven hitters reached base and five scored in the top of the first. The only one who did not was Terrell Davies, who was robbed of a sure hit by Adams-Cheshire shortstop Hudson Ziter’s play on a line drive.
 
Prestley Garner doubled in a run, and Tierney hit a two-run double during the rally, which left the designated visitors with a 5-0 lead.
 
“We’ve been doing that in the cage,” Pittsfield coach Matt Stracuzzi said. “I’m telling these guys, ‘Be aggressive. Swing at good pitches. Don’t get behind in the count.’ And tonight they did a good job of that. They really did.”
 
Adams-Cheshire starting pitcher Max Bialas stranded two runners in scoring position in a scoreless second inning. But Bassi and Tiereney each doubled in a three-run third to give Pittsfield an 8-0 lead.
