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.

Allendale Pines North Affordable Manufactured Homes Sell Fast
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
Developer Teton Management cut the ribbon on the first six hopes in the manufactured housing community earlier this year.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Just a few months after Allendale Pines North cut the ribbon on its first six homes in the new manufactured home community, units in the planned development are selling fast with both first and second phases all but sold out.
For several years, Teton Management Corp. has been planning to expand its existing Allendale Pines Mobile Community with the development of 22 planned manufactured housing units. The new development has its own entrance at 395 Cheshire Road.
The need for attainable housing has never been higher, Teton President George Whaling said.
"And where we sought the opportunity to help with that demand is, we can get folks into a home at Allendale Pines North for essentially a couple of $100 less than what it would cost for someone to rent a three-bedroom of the same quality," he said.
The corporation took over Allendale Pines, now referred to as Allendale Pines South, about 6 1/2 years ago, Whaling said.
Since then, the corporation has invested $1,000,001 in infrastructure improvements, including replacing all water and sewer lines, paving the community and installing the infrastructure needed for 10 additional units, he said.
Additionally, it has been working to clean up and improve the community, which was lacking during previous ownership, said Jason Nocher, owner of Nocher Realty, which has been hired to help sell the units.
