Beau Elson doubled and drove in three runs to pace the offense, while Dom Aloisi smacked two hits.

Late weekend results

Legion baseball

Belchertown Post 239 4, Pittsfield Post 68 3 — After a Spencer Waite RBI single tied the game at three apiece in the bottom of the seventh inning to send the game to extras, Beau Elson scored the walk-off run in the eighth – coming home on a passed ball to give Post 239 a win on Saturday.

Elson ripped a one-out double, then moved over to third on when Belchertown’s next batter was thrown out at first on a dropped-third strike before the Pittsfield miscue brought him home.

Patrick Fitzgibbons tallied one hit, two runs and two RBIs while Cody West recorded a hit and a run for Post 239 in the victory. Thatcher Rudnik went six innings on the hill, giving up three runs (only one earned), three hits and three walks on nine strikeouts in a strong outing.

Jake Waller closed it out to earn the win, tossing two scoreless innings and giving up just one hit and one walk.
