Fracassini Pitched Crimson Eagles Over Rival Ludlowe at Eagles Diamond 33 Years Ago Today

Tony Grasso clouted a two-run home run to pace Andrew Warde to a 3-1 victory over cross-town rival Roger Ludlowe in an FCIAC contest at the winners' diamond on Friday afternoon, May 13, 1977.

Grasso's smash came in the second inning, and the Eagles added another run in the third inning to raise their record to 6-6 in league play and 7-7 overall. The Flying Tigers, 6-5 in the FCIAC and 6-7 overall, scored their lone run in the fifth inning.

Mark Fracassini surrendered just four hits while improving his record to 2-1. Artie Von Schleusingen was the losing pitcher.

Ludlowe's Jim Barletto and Warde's Barry Brown both had two hits in the game.
