A southwestern Connecticut native known as one of baseball's top postseason pitchers is out for the rest of the World Series after being injured during Game 1.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton walked off the mound after his right fibula was fractured when it was hit by a hard groundball at the start of the second inning.
Morton stayed in the game through the third inning, getting the next three batters out before the pain got to be too much.
"It just speaks to who he is. If anyone knows Charlie, they shouldn't be surprised," says Joel Barlow High School athletic administrator Mike Santangeli.
