HOLDEN, Mass. -- The Bridgewater American 12-year-old All-Stars Saturday ended Pittsfield's run in the Little League state tournament with a 6-0 decision at Holden's CRA field.

For the second time in this tournament, one late inning was the difference.

In Thursday's tournament opener, it was a six-run five-run Bridgewater sixth that erased a three-run Pittsfield lead in an eventual extra-inning win for Bridgewater.

On Saturday, Bridgewater scored four in the bottom of the fifth to open up a two-run game.

Luke Schlatz went 2-for-3 with a double, and Anthony Sullivan hit a solo home run to lead Bridgewater's offense. Dominik Mombeleur struck out seven and allowed two hits in a complete-game win on the mound.

Myles Morrison-Gould had both Pittsfield hits, going 2-for-2 at the plate.

Carmelo Coco, Mason Fox and Sean Rozak split time on the mound, striking out four and allowing two earned runs.

Bridgewater moves on to Sunday's State Championship Game and a rematch against Roxbury's Parkway All-Stars, who earned a 5-2 win over Bridgewater on Friday evening.

State Auditor DiZoglio Pushes for Beacon Hill Transparency

The state auditor called on voters to support Question 1 on the November ballot, which would bring most legislative and governor's office records under the public records law.

DALTON, Mass. — Transparency is not a one-party issue, and democracy is also "under attack" here in Massachusetts, not just at the federal level, State Auditor Diana DiZoglio said during a presentation to the Dalton Democratic Town Committee.

More than a dozen people filled Nessacus Regional Middle School's auditorium Thursday as DiZoglio outlined her belief that power on Beacon Hill has become concentrated among a small number of House leaders, limiting legislative debate and creating what she described as a system of "rewards and punishment" to influence lawmakers.

"That system is really destroying democracy here in Massachusetts," she said.

The system was designed with a system of checks and balances, including giving the people a right to create laws at the ballot box, DiZoglio said.

"We have the right to vote for our elected representatives and senators to represent us and to be our voice at the state house. The people have constitutional rights in this commonwealth, but the people's rights are being ignored over and over and over again," she said

"This isn't about liberal, moderate, conservative. This is an everyone issue. That's why you see so many people coming out and supporting these transparency issues, regardless of party affiliation."

Since being elected in 2022, DiZoglio has been advocating for more transparency and accountability within the Legislature, specifically through the 2024 Question 1 ballot question which authorizes the state auditor to audit the Legislature.
