Norwalk, CT — The Norwalk High School baseball team was honored Saturday with a parade celebrating the school’s first CIAC state championship in baseball. The school opened in 1902. The CIAC began running state baseball tournaments in 1938. Norwalk, the 24th seed in the CIAC Class LL state tournament, defeated Westhill 1-0 on June 12 at Palmer Field in Middletown. The parade, which included a police escort from Vets Park to the Norwalk Town Green, included Mayor Harry Rilling, Norwalk Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Alexandra Estrella, members of the Board of Education, community members, families and friends. “It’s been nuts,” Norwalk’s Ethan Platt said Friday night after several members of the team took part in an opening-pitch ceremony for the District I Little League tournament. “We thought the baseball season was over, but almost month has gone by and we’re still celebrating. People are still congratulating us when we walk by. It’s big for our city. I feel like we’re a part of something way bigger. It brings the whole town together and hopefully it helps keep kids in Norwalk and not going to private schools so they can put on the uniform for our city.” https://www.thehour.com/sports/article/Norwalk-celebrates-first-Norwalk-High-School-16276586.php#taboola-7
