NORWALK, Conn. – They've done it again – a Norwalk Police sports team has won an Industrial League championship twice in less than a year.
The softball team won in October and, Wednesday night, the basketball team took top honors in a championship game at the Ben Franklin School.
The basketball team beat Diageo, 51-46. The softball team also beat Diageo.
Hector Delgado, coach of the team, said the success in the league operated by the parks and recreation department came as a "complete surprise." He started the basketball team three years ago as just "something to do in the winter," a way to keep in shape. It is sponsored by Ash Creek Saloon.
The softball team started in 1993, but there was a hiatus of at least a decade. He restarted it about five years ago.
The basketball team started the season 0-5, then won nine in a row. Winning was a team effort, although Germaine Nash, who was born and raised in Norwalk, was "a monster" defensively, Delgado said.

Glad they won but is it true that they Tasered the ump three times?
I heard they threatened to give tickets if they lost
