ADAMS, Mass. – Sebastian Herrera provided some offensive highlights at this month’s Don Gleason District 1 Little League Championships. But it was his pitching that.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Three state championships, eleven league titles, 28 years, 409 victories. Those are all one way to measure the success of Pittsfield Little League coach Ty.
Barry retired three straight to stop a sixth-inning rally and preserve a 6-2 win for the Pittsfield Little League American Division 12-year-olds in Thursday’s Don Gleason District 1 title game. Barry ended the game with his second strikeout in 1-⅔ innings of relief work to make a winner of Sebastian Herrera and send the Pittsfield Americans into next week’s sectional playoffs on the road to Williamsport, Pa. Great Barrington registered its only three hits of the game back-to-back-to-back with its back to the wall in the sixth to score a run. And it had runners at the corners with just one out with a four-run deficit.
