Hickey Rolls Over New Canaan


-By: Ryan Barthold-

Yale-bound senior David Hickey (pictured) pitched a gem Friday afternoon (4/9)
during a 2-0 Blue Wave baseball win over New Canaan. Hickey threw
seven shutout innings, six strikeouts and only let up three hits while leading the Wave to a 2-0 start on the season, just a few days after beating New Fairfield. Senior Tommy Blankemeier jump-started the Wave
offense with a stolen base in the first. Later in the inning, senior John Gardner put the Wave up on the board with a sacrifice fly. Darien’s next run came after senior Brandon Tripodi hit a sacrifice fly to score senior Scott Dempsey, who had doubled earlier in the
inning. The Wave will take on Norwich Free Academy on Saturday (4/10) in Darien, and then face Harding of Bridgeport on Monday (4/12), also at home on the turf.
