 ANDOVER, Mass. -- How big was Matthew Keegan for the Pittsfield Little League American Division 10-year-old All-Stars in Sunday’s 9-8, come-from-behind victory in the State Championship game? Asked to comment on a big at-bat by Keegan in the second inning, Pittsfield Manager B.J. Jefferson misheard and jumped straight to a big at-bat by Keegan in the seventh. The former was Pittsfield’s first hit of the game and sparked a five-run rally to tie the game. The latter produced the baserunner who scampered home on a wild pitch to give the Americans the extra-inning victory over Swansea and the ultimate prize for 10-year-old Little Leaguers in the commonwealth.
