The Americans scored more than twice as many runs as its opponent had plate appearances in a 23-1 win over Dalton-Hinsdale to advance to the state sectional tournament. Pittsfield pounded out 13 hits and batted around three times -- including twice in the same inning.

Reed struck out five in two innings of work and allowed just one unearned run before 0 Comments
