50 YEARS AGO: LAKE CITY BASEBALL PHENOM MADE HEADLINES

It was 50 years ago that Lake City Tigers baseball phenom  Denny Lortscher raised eyebrows around the state with a historic string of pitching performances.

The senior threw three no-hitters in the month of May.  Lortscher's first gem was was on May 13th against Stewartville, firing a perfect game and striking out 20 of the 21 batters he faced.  Lorstcher tossed another no-no on May 17th against Dodge Center in the District 3 tournament and pitched a third no-hitter against Rochester John Marshall on May 27th in the District semifinals.

Lake Cityr fell to Austin in the Region One championship game 2-0 but Lortscher was outstanding, giving up just one hit and one walk while recording 18 strike outs.  Austin scored their runs on two dropped third strikes, a passed ball, a wild pitch and the one walk and hit.

Lake City was 14-2 that 1963 season.  Lortscher's pitching stats were nothing short of incredible.  71 1/3 innings pitched, 16 hits, 164 strike outs and one earned run.  Lortscher averaged 2.3 strike outs per inning and his ERA was a microscopic .098.

Lortscher was signed by the Twins in the middle of June, started with their rookie league team in Virginia and then moved up to Orlando of the Florida State League later in the summer, all before his 18th birthday.

Lortscher went to spring training with the Twins in 1964 but then was called to serve in the Vietnam War for two years.  Lortscher spent five season pitching at the pro level but had arm trouble ended his pitching career.

His 1963 season with Lake City remains perhaps the finest high school season on the mound in state history.  Lortscher wasn't a bad hitter either.  He hit .326 and led the Tigers with 16 RBI that year.

Thanks to THE LAKE CITY GRAPHIC and writer GARY SMITH for the information and to Marvelous Mark O'Connor for the story to our attention.
