North Stamford Starts Section 1 Play STAMFORD, Conn. When it mattered most, North Stamford played its best in winning the District 1 Little League Tournament. Manager Dave Grafstein hopes the trend continues when the All-Stars open Section 1 play beginning Wednesday night with a 5:30 game in Orange against Berlin. "I don't think we played our best in pool play,'' Grafstein said. "We were fortunate to come out of it. After that, our practices were just better. We started hitting the ball better in practice. The practices leading up to the semifinals, we thought we would play our best game and we did. What turned it around, it'…

Darien 13s Close In on Babe Ruth State Crown DARIEN, Conn. Darien's Andrew Enzor had the game-winning hit, the game-saving catch and the wisdom to know that his team's 4-3 victory over New Milford in the winners' bracket final of the 13-year-old Babe Ruth state tournament was a critical one. "We played them earlier in the year, and we lost to them, 8-2, so we know that they're a good team,'' said Enzor, whose sixth inning single snapped a 2-2 tie and put Darien ahead for good. "We're a much better team than when we played them the first time." Jake Frasca pitched six strong innings, and Eddie Gozdz got the save despite allowing a ru…
