The son of a New York City assistant principal who died of swine flu pitched a no-hitter while wearing a cap bearing his father’s initials. Jordan Wiener is the son of Mitchell Wiener, a 55-year-old assistant principal at an intermediate school in Queens. Jordan attends Robert F. Kennedy High School in Queens and struck out 14 batters Thursday in a 10-0 victory over Brooklyn’s Prospect Heights. His father was buried Wednesday after dying of the virus Sunday. The senior said he felt his father giving him the power to win, adding his dad “would want me to do what I do best, and that’s pitching.” The Associated Press
