Fifteen up, 15 down for the Belchertown Post 239 Senior American Legion team so far this summer.

With Belchertown’s 9-1 drubbing of Pittsfield Post 68 on the road on Monday night, the club officially clinched the No. 1 seed heading into the postseason – which begins on Sunday.

Nine different players recorded a hit, including four from Brady Perkins and three from Cooper Beckwith. Post 239’s balance was on full display once again with seven different players crossing home plate and six different players tallying an RBI.

Cody West (three RBIs) and Patrick Fitzgibbons (two RBIs) each added two hits as well while combining for five RBIs to lead the team in that category. Belchertown scored at least one run in the first four innings – including four in the second – to jump out to an early 7-0 lead.

Post 239 accumulated a whopping 17 hits in the win to Post 68’s four.

Chace Earle got the start and earned the win on the hill, tossing five innings and surrendering just one unearned run. He struck out three and walked two before Alex West came on to close the door over the final two frames, walking one and fanning one without conceding a run.

Belchertown Post 239 (15-0) travels to Westfield to take on Post 124 on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Northampton Post 28 7, Aldenville Post 337 6 — Asher Garretson worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the seventh to help Post 28 to a one-run victory on Monday night at Arcanum Field in Northampton.

Aldenville put up five runs in the frame and chased Northampton starter Griffin Smiarowski out of the game, but Garretson forced a Post 337 player to ground out to third – where Smiarowski was playing after pitching six-plus innings. He made the play to end the game and strand three Aldenville runners on.

Northampton led 7-1 after six innings before Aldenville's comeback.

Smiarowski had three hits, scored a run and drove in one, Andrew Gagne notched two singles and crossed home twice and Matthew Walko recorded two hits, an RBI and a run. That trio paced Post 28’s offense to help grab their 10th win of the year.

Post 28 (10-5) next plays Wednesday night at Longmeadow at 5:45 p.m.
