Baseball Cheshire 1, Stamford 0: First-year CHS head coach Alex LeFevre picked up a road win in his debut. Cheshire starter Ben Strout tossed five scoreless innings and became the pitcher of record when Daniel Margolies and Bennett Crerar both doubled in the top of the sixth to produce the game’s lone run. Crerar had the RBI. Jackson Enders took it from there, pitching the final two frames to earn the save. Enders walked four, but kept the Black Knights off the board. See Sports, A8
On the evening of Friday, April 14, Nikanova is holding A Night for Kyiv, a concert and fundraising event, on the Cheshire Academy campus. The fundraiser will feature singing and dancing acts, traditional Ukrainian baked goods, and a lively atmosphere. See Ukraine, A10
