The Freshman baseball team easily defeated Pomfret, at Pomfret, yesterday afternoon by the score of 20 to 3. The Pomfret team played poor ball throughout the game, while the work of the Freshmen was on the whole satisfactory. Kennedy was back at first base, but Potter was out of the game with a slightly injured ankle. McLean took his place at second base.
For the first three innings Newberry pitched well and held the Freshman nine down to one score. In the first of the fourth, however, he entirely lost his control, and from that time was hit almost at will. Babson pitched well for the 1912 team, striking out nine men, and allowing only four hits and one base on balls in seven innings.
The summary: Two-base hits--Reeves, Desha 2, Babson. Sacrifice hit--McLean. Stolen bases--Wigglesworth 2, Howe 2, Thomas 2, Conant, Chauncey, Erust, Scully. Double play--Chauncey to Scully.
