Lefty Larry Mischik Pitched Warde Over Green Wave at Norwalk on This Date in 1963

The Andrew Warde High School baseball team backed the four-hit pitching of southpaw Larry Mischik with a 10-hit attack which included a booming home run by first baseman Gary DuBoys to defeat Norwalk, 4-2, in an FCIAC game on the Green Wave diamond on this date, Friday, May 17, 1963.

Mischik was thwarted in his bid for a third straight shutout when Norwalk bunched three hits with an error in the fourth inning for its only runs. Singles by Ty Yoshitani and Bill Granata were wrapped around a double by Milt Peckham during the lone Green Wave uprising.

The two Norwalk runs ended a string of 18 consecutive scoreless innings pitched by Mischik, who fanned eight and walked only one in earning his fifth victory against two losses.

The visiting Eagles clipped losing pitcher Bob Sommer for three runs in the top of the fourth and added their final marker on the solo round-tripper by DuBoys over the centerfield fence in the sixth inning. Warde's fourth inning splurge included an infield hit by Al Englander, a sacrifice bunt, singles by Pete Jankovsky and Bob Ryan, and two Norwalk errors.

It was the sixth win in ten outings for the Eagles and enabled them to remain in first place in the FCIAC Eastern Division.
