Norwalk Belts 6 HRs in Opening Win Norwalk Cal Ripken manager Sal Latella hoped his team would score early in Saturday's opening game of the 12-year-old World Series in Aberdeen, Md.

Matt Parlanti's two-run home run three batters into the game gave Norwalk a 2-0 lead. Norwalk went on to smash six home runs – two apiece by Parlanti, Noah Yokoi and David Balunek – and rip 17 hits.

Rocky Point Swimmers Settle for 2nd Rocky Point Swimmers Settle for 2nd Rocky Point Swimmers Settle for 2nd
Rocky Point Swimmers Settle for 2nd Rocky Point swim coach Terry Lowe knew his team faced an uphill climb in its bid to take the Fairfield County Swimming League title from Roxbury. But even though his squad finished second, the veteran coach was far from disappointed. "We had a good meet, and we had a lot of good swims,'' Lowe said. "We're happy with the day's work." Alex Walsh was terrific for Rocky Point. She won the 8-and-under 25-meter butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke, and her time of 20.46 in the breaststroke broke a record that had stood since 1976. Sue Lenczycki set the standard, and Julie Sweitzer tied it in 19…
