10-Year-Old Final
ADAMS, Mass. --  The ACS SWAT 10U team earned back-to-back championships in the Berkshire County Travel League with a 7-6 victory over Lenox.
 
In this back-and-forth contest where we saw Lenox jump out to a 6-3 lead, ACS SWAT used a fifth-inning, four-run rally to get back on top.  Leading the way offensively for SWAT was Ashlyn Lesure (3-for-3 with a home run and four RBIs) Emily Raschdorf (1-for-3 with two RBIs) and Maggie Wohrle (2-for-3 with an RBI). 
 
The winning pitcher was Nora Moser, who started and returned to close the game, going 5 1/3 innings while recording 12 strikeouts.  Moser also teamed up with catcher Maryn Cappiello and shortstop Ashlyn Lesure for a “strike ‘em out, throw ‘em out” double play to end the third.
 
For Lenox, Grace Julieano and Bella Miller with a pair of hits to lead the offense.
