Dalton Police Association Wins League Championship

DALTON, Mass. – Tye Shove struck out 14 hitters in 5 and two-thirds innings on the mound and hit a home run and a double at the plate Friday to lead the Dalton Police Association to a 3-2 win over Realty Street in the championship game of the Dalton-Hinsdale Little League.
Shove also doubled, going 2-for-2, drove in two runs with his homer and scored DPA’s other run as Police earned its third straight one-run win over Realty Street.
DPA coach Josh Bradley praised Realty Street for going toe-to-toe with his squad three straight times. League President Jake Harte said Friday’s game was the best he has seen in all his years around the league.
It is a fair bet that the Dalton-Hinsdale League has not had many better title games in its 50 years of existence.
Realty Street rallied for a run in the top of the sixth inning and had the tying run at third base with one out when Shove picked up his final strikeout of the game and Colton Bradley came in to strike out the only hitter he faced to end it.
Aside from Bradley’s brief save appearance, it was a duel between Shove and Realty Street’s Anthony Zaniboni, who struck out 10 in five innings of work.
Realty Street played error-free ball behind Zaniboni, who at one point struck out seven in a row.
