Looks like it was John Paciorek. Hell of a game too. 3 for 3 with 4 runs and 3 RBIs at 18 years old.

He also walked twice so he reached in all five times up. Like me, Paciorek went on to get his education degree from the University of Houston and was a teacher/coach for many years. Back problems derailed his short time as a pro. MLB had a nice article about him (linked below). His brother, Tom, led the Cougars to their only CWS appearance.

Joe Cleary probably wished he had Larry Yount's career MLB line.

He made his lone pitching appearance in a MLB game for the Washington Senators in 1945. He faced 9 batters and 7 of them scored. The only out he recorded was a K against the opposing pitcher.

He holds the distinction of having the highest career ERA(189.00) of any MLB pitcher who recorded an out

Mel Kerr is probably worth an honourable mention.

He appeared in one MLB game (in 1925) as a pinch runner. I’m not sure the details anymore, but he did score.

Former neighbor of mine was a minor league pitcher named Lloyd Gladden

Minor league stats

Had a very good AAA season in 1972 at 15-9 and made the Brewers roster out of spring training in 1973. Traveled with the team to their first series, never got into a game, then got sent back down to the minors and never made it back to the show.

17 year old Jay Dahl made his lone appearance as the starting pitcher in the Colt 45's All rookie lineup against the Mets in September of 1962.

Never appeared in another major league game passing away in an auto accident the following June
