LONGMEADOW, Mass. – The Longmeadow Little League 11-year-old All-Stars Tuesday pounded out 12 hits in three innings to earn a 17-3 win over the Pittsfield Americans in the Section 1.
Jackson Boehm, the last of six reserves for Pittsfield to crack the lineup, hit a leadoff single in the top of the sixth to ignite a six-run rally that gave Pittsfield a 9-5 win over Longmeadow in the Section 1 tournament. No. 3 hitter Aiden Arsenault and cleanup man Cooper Reed delivered back-to-back two-run doubles in the middle of the game-winning rally, but it all started with Boehm, the third player to hit in the No. 8 spot in the lineup. It was nice to see Jackson come off the bench, take a nice simple swing, make contact, basehit up the middle, and, yeah, that got it started, Pittsfield manager B.J. Jefferson said.
