Dalton Advances to Berkshire Adult Baseball League Final

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Paul McBride went 1-for-2 with a pair of runs batted in and threw 4 and two-third innings on the mound Sunday to lead the Dalton Moneymakers to a 10-9 win over the Pontoosuc Lake Monsters to sweep their semi-final series in the Berkshire Adult Baseball League 33-and-older division.
 
Dalton, the tournament’s third seed, was able to stem a three-run Pontoosuc rally in the bottom of the seventh to secure the win and a 2-0 series sweep.
 
On Saturday morning, Dalton earned a 12-2 win to start the best of three series.
 
Now, the Moneymakers move on to face either Tunnel City Freight or the Adams Pirates, the league’s first and fourth seeds, respectively, who finished their playoff series on Friday as well.
 
On Mount Greylock Regional School’s junior varsity field on Sunday, Dalton scored twice in the top of the seventh to take a 10-6 lead with three outs left.
 
But Pontoosuc got four hits and a sacrifice fly with one out to draw within one before Dalton reliever Tim Healey got a groundball back to the mound and fired to first to end the game.
 
Dalton never trailed but never could shake the Lake Monsters in the back-and-forth game.
