Little League Topples Ripken Team

The Norwalk 10-year-old Little League team continues to dominate its Cal Ripken counterpart. Norwalk Little League recovered from early sloppy defense to beat Norwalk 10-year-old Cal Ripken for the second straight game, 8-4. Little League now stands at 2-1 in the 2010 Tom Corbo Tournament.

Three errors led to three unearned runs in the top of the first, but Little League stormed back with five runs in the bottom of the inning. Jake Fishman sparked the offense with three singles and an RBI. Danny Frattaroli added two RBIs, while Joey Benincaso and Jimmy Evans knocked in a runner each. Jeff Joslyn did not let the errors faze him on the mound, and he did not allow an earned run in three innings. Benincaso went the final three innings, giving up just one hit to the Ripken team.

Norwalk Little League will take on Norwalk Cranbury League at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday. The Tom Corbo Tournament pits the three youth baseball leagues in Norwalk against each other to determine a city champion.
