Killingly — Norwich rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to defeat Danielson 3-2 in its Connecticut Elite Baseball Alliance 19-under debut on Thursday night at Owen Bell Park.

The game was halted in the bottom of the sixth inning because of rain.

After Aaron Penney walked, Ryan Trudeau doubled home Thorburn to tie the game and Penney scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Will Wolfe.

Reliever Brian Miskiewicz earned the win. He entered the game with the bases-loaded in the third. After walking the first batter, Miskiewicz escaped further damage with three straight strikeouts. He did not allow a hit over three innings and had five strikeouts.
