In what may have been the quickest game of baseball ever, the Blue Wave narrowly defeated Trumbull on Monday May 21st 1-0. The headlines of the game were the two pitchers Junior Henry Williams on Darien and Trumbull’s Ben Fero. Fero pitched a no hitter and Williams allowed no scores on the day.
The Wave lacked confidence early on at the mound but late in the 6th inning Henry Williams got to first on a fielding error. Nonetheless this sparked momentum and led to a controversial run that many, players included, were confused about. However Darien played a flawless defensive game and showed why they are one of the best teams in the state.
Senior captain Justin Jordan mentioned, “We played strong all season and we’ve been in a lot of close games. This was nothing new.” Darien have fought for every win and they will continue their fight at Cubeta Stadium in the FCIAC Semi Finals tonight at 5 pm against the 8 seed Fairfield Ludlowe Falcons.
