Billy Mulligan tossed a two-hitter and Warde scored two runs in the second inning and two more in the sixth inning as the Crimson Eagles downed cross-town rival Ludlowe, 6-2, at the winners' field 43 years ago today, Monday, May 10, 1971.
The victory lifted the Eagles' mark to 5-7 in the FCIAC East I Division and ended a four-game losing streak. The setback dropped the Flying Tigers to 5-7 in the FCIAC East II Division and snapped a modest two-game winning streak.
The hosts scored one run in the first inning and plated a pair of runs in the second frame. Jack Rozgonyi started the second inning rally with a lead-off walk, Pete Paolini singled, and Rick Seres walked to load the bases for Bill Carr, who ripped a single to score two runs.
Warde scored two more runs in the sixth inning. Paolini doubled to start the rally, Mulligan walked, and both advanced on an infield out. A wild pitch by losing pitcher Jim Cali brought in Paolini, and John Favale's single scored Mulligan.
Ludlowe scored two runs in the third inning to narrow the gap to 3-2. Tony Coppola and Mike Donnelly, who had the only two hits for the Tigers, scored with the help of two errors and a passed ball.
Mulligan's win ended a personal three-game losing streak, while Cali, who yielded eight hits, dropped to 1-1.
