PITTSFIELD , Mass. — A strong first and third inning, and a consistent outing on the mound by Myles Morrison-Gould led the Pittsfield Little League 10-year-old All-Stars to an 18-3, run-rule win over Adams-Cheshire in the first game of pool play in the Don Gleason District 1 Tournament on Monday.

“It's Little League there's always room for improvement,” Pittsfield coach Jack Chevalier said.

 

“We saw some issues that we are going to get fixed before tomorrow.”

 

Adams-Cheshire could not seem to find a solution to Pittsfield's offense and pitching.

 

But Adams-Cheshire was not always behind.

 

Lukas Benson and Maddox Milesi led the charge, each scoring in the first inning to give AC a 2-0 lead. Hudson Ziter scored in the third to make it 10-3.

Chase Albano drove in Morrison-Gould to make it a 15-run margin.

 

Albano finished the night 3-for-3 at the plate. Morrison-Gould was 1-for-1 with a pair of RBIs.

 

On the mound, Morrison-Gould struck out four while pitching into the third inning before giving the ball to Sean Rozak to finish up.
