ADAMS, Mass. -- Julius Valentine drove a 1-1 pitch to left field to drive in two runs in the bottom of the sixth and give the Adams-Cheshire Little League 12-Year-Old All-Stars an 11-10 win over the Pittsfield Nationals on Monday night in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament.
 
Valentine's walkoff hit completed a seven-run rally in Adams' final at-bat and gave the team its second win in the five-team round-robin tournament.
 
The winning rally included a single from Brayden Durant, a two-run double from Mikey Durant and an RBI from Zack Mazzeo.
 
"This team fights till the end," Adams-Cheshire manager Steve Albareda said. "It never gives up."
 
Valentine also had a double in Monday's win. Brayden Durant had a pair of doubles and Braydin Clark finished with two hits.
 
Pittsfield National got an inside-the-park home run and a double from Ruben Fried. Kalvin Phillips and Quincy King each doubled.
 
Adams-Cheshire's Monday win gives it a 2-1 record in the tournament and sets up what essentially is a district semi-final game on Tuesday at 5:30 when the hosts face Great Barrington, also 2-1.
 
The winner of that game will face the Pittsfield Americans in Thursday's district final for the right to move on to the state sectionals. The Americans finished round-robin play at 4-0 with a 10-0 win over Dalton-Hinsdale on Monday.
 
Sebastian Herrera hit his fourth home run of the tournament, and Brendan Merwin had a triple and a double for the Americans, who also got a double from Mario Zerbato.
 
Dalton-Hinsdale's Beau Sanders doubled. Lucas Lussier and Troy Baumann each had a hit.
