STAMFORD — As players celebrated around them, legendary former Norwalk baseball coach Pete Tucci hugged first-year baseball coach Ryan Mitchell on the third base line of Cubeta Stadium and said “Thank you for keeping the tradition going.”
Tucci and Mitchell, Tucci’s former player and assistant coach, both know the history of Norwalk baseball as well as anyone else and know what it means for the team to be where they are.
Norwalk has never won a CIAC state baseball title and has not appeared in a championship game since 1995.
