NAFD/NAPD Forces Championship Final in Women's League

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – North Adams Fire Department/Police Department scored three runs in the top of the sixth to take a one-run lead and held on for a 5-4 win over Belle Ame Lashes in the championship round of the North Adams Women’s Softball League.
 
Carrie Brassard went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI and Kenzie Dobbert recorded a pair of strikeouts as NAFD/ NAPD forced a winner-take-all finale on Tuesday night to conclude the double-elimination tournament.
 
It was a pitchers’ duel early between Lashes’ Sarah Sweet and Dobbert, who started a 1-3 double play on a line drive back to the circle and speared another line drive for the third out in the third inning.
 
Sweet got out of a jam after putting runners on first and second to start the third with three straight outs to help keep it a 0-0 game going to the fourth.
 
In the top of the fourth, the first responders scored the game’s first two runs.
 
Heather Morris got things started with a leadoff single to left and moved into scoring position on Brassard’s single.
 
Morris came home when Anna Dix singled up the middle, and an infield error allowed NAFD/NAPD to score its second run.
