Young Ballplayers Warm Up to Opening Day A cloudy Saturday morning did not cool the warmth of Norwalk Little League's opening ceremonies in Norwalk. Players, parents and coaches gathered at Broad River Field to take part in the event. Though this event has been a staple in Norwalk for some time, the message remained the same: Get involved, lighten up and have fun. Having fun was not a problem. Coaches could be seen helping players break down the mechanics of a good swing, classmates now on rival teams chatted and joked around, and proud parents cheered their sons and daughters. The constant in all the baseball faire were smiles. M…

Staples Baseball Stunned by New Canaan With a 4-1 lead and undefeated pitcher Rob Gau on the mound, some people might have thought the Staples High School baseball game Friday afternoon was over. Some of those people, to the chagrin of Wreckers coach Jack McFarland, were wearing uniforms for his team. New Canaan twice stormed back from behind to defeat the Wreckers, 8-7, in a slugfest at Staples. Julian Clarke took the loss in relief of Gau, who surrendered five runs before getting pulled in the fifth. He just didnt have his command today, McFarland said. Staples (9-2, 8-2) suffered its second straight loss. After the Ram…
