PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Carr Hardware customers in Lenox and Pittsfield raised $1,856.35 through a round-up campaign benefiting the Thanksgiving Angels program. 
 
The funds helped provide Thanksgiving meals for over 2,000 families in Berkshire County.
 
During October, customers at the two store locations were encouraged to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar, with proceeds donated to the South Congregational Church's Thanksgiving Angels program. This initiative ensures that families in need can enjoy traditional holiday dinners.
 
"We are incredibly grateful to our customers for their overwhelming support during this round-up campaign," said Bart Raser, President of Carr Hardware. "Thanks to their generosity, we are able to help the Thanksgiving Angels provide thousands of meals to local families. It's a true reflection of the spirit of giving that defines our community."
 
The Thanksgiving Angels program, a long-standing resource in the region, relies on local volunteers and organizations to deliver meals and foster community connections. Carr Hardware thanked participants and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting similar initiatives in the future.

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.
