Warde Posted 4-3 Victory Over Greenwich for First Victory of 1964 Baseball Season on This Date

Joe Nemeth's single in the bottom of the eighth inning plated the winning run as Andrew Warde High School won its first baseball game of the season, 4-3, over Greenwich at the Eagles' diamond 48 years ago today, Thursday, April 16, 1964.

Although the Cardinals opened the scoring in the first inning, the Eagles bounced back in the third frame as they tallied twice via a catcher's interference call, a walk, a wild pitch, and a two-run single by Mike Pantano.

Warde added another tally in the fifth inning before Greenwich scored two runs in the seventh inning to tie the game and send the contest into extra innings.

Don Lehman went the distance on the mound to gain the victory for the Crimson Eagles. Ed Baird took the loss for the visitors, despite striking out 12.
