Williams was defeated by the University baseball team in a ten-inning game on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, by the score of 2 to 1. As in last year's game, the pitching contest between Hicks and Templeton was the deciding issue. This time Hicks had decidedly the better of it, for while he struck out only half as many men as Templeton, he had good control, whereas Templeton's wildness in the tenth inning was responsible for the winning run.
Up to the eighth inning neither side advanced a runner past second. In the first half of that inning, after Templeton had been put out on a fly to Aronson, Lambie was given his base. Brown followed with a fly to left field which Kelly missed, advancing Lambie to second. Ayres made the lone hit for his side, a short single over Carr's head, filling the bases with one out. Trumbull raised a long fly to Kelly, and Lambie scored on the throw home. This left men on first and third. A double steal, and clever work by Young and Potter, caught Brown as he slid for the plate. In the two following innings Williams went out in order.
For Harvard, the eighth inning opened with Hicks's strike-out. Carr was passed, and went to second on Trumbull's catch of McLaughlin's foul fly near the first base fence. Potter followed with a long two-base hit to centre field which Hamilton could not reach, scoring Carr with the first run. Winter's poor handling of Aronson's difficult grounder advanced Potter to third, but he was left there when Lanigan fanned.
In the ninth Harvard came near clinching the game. Minot was sent in to bat for Babson and sent a slow grounder to Brown, beating the throw to first. Haydock was sent in to run for Minot. He was advanced to third by successive sacrifice bunts by Kelly and Young, but was left there when Hicks struck out and ended the inning.
Carr was the first man up in the tenth inning. For the third strike, Templeton pitched a low ball which escaped the catcher, and Carr reached first base before the ball was recovered. McLaughlin put him on second with a well-placed bunt and, after Carr had stolen third, Potter was passed to first. On an attempted double steal, Lambie made a wild throw past third, on which Carr crossed the plate with the winning run of the game.
