The Darien High baseball team got off to a hot start against Bridgeport Central, putting up six quick runs before their defense even took the field. But perhaps starter David Hickey should have told them to save some runs for the next game. Hickey absolutely silenced the Hilltoppers bats, pitching five innings of one-hit ball to earn the win by a score of 19-0.
Hickey did not surrender a hit until the start of the fifth inning, when he gave up a leadoff double. He was pulled after the Blue Waves nine-run rally in the top of the sixth, with the score safely at 16-0. Hickey struck out 11 en route to the win.
Central is now 4-10, 3-9 in the conference. With the win, Dairen improves to 6-9 overall and 4-9 in the FCIAC. The Blue Waves next game is Wednesday at Fairfield Warde.
