The Andrew Warde High School Crimson Eagles baseball team won its fourth straight game to improve to 4-2 by posting a 3-2 victory over Staples in a Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference baseball game in Westport 50 years ago today, Friday, May 4, 1962.
The Eagles broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning, scoring two decisive runs on Mike Gorlo's double, two errors, and a walk.
The Wreckers, who fell to 1-4, countered with a single run in the last of the seventh inning as Phil Koda slammed his third hit of the game, but Warde pitcher Hank Bahe bore down to retire the side and wrap up his second victory of the season.
Bahe, who tossed a complete game, gave up just six hits, one earned run, three walks, and struck out six. Warde managed just five hits in the game. Click the image below to see the newspaper story in The Bridgeport Telegram the following morning.
