Crimson Eagles Tightened Grip on First Place by Defeating Brien McMahon, 7-3, in Norwalk for Eighth Straight Win 50 Years Ago Today

Andrew Warde High School's baseball team tightened its grip on first place in the FCIAC Eastern Division with a come-from-behind 7-3 decision over Brien McMahon High School on this date, Wednesday, May 16, 1962.

The win was Warde's eighth straight after two losses to open the season and gave the Eagles a two-game lead over McMahon.

Jim Lippman and Larry Mischik singled to highlight a five-run Crismon Eagle rally in the sixth inning which provided the margin of victory. Hank Bahe hurled a one-hitter for the winners, striking out nine batters and walking eight.
