Second Baseball Team Victorious

The University second baseball team in its first game of the season defeated Lawrence High School by a score of 9 to 4 in a loosely played game on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. Ernst, who started in the box for the second team, kept the visitors from scoring until the seventh inning, when several well-bunched hits, including a home-run, resulted in three runs. The fourth score by the visitors was made in the eighth inning when Sexton, who had taken Ernst's place, threw wildly to first base.

Four runs were scored in the first two innings by the second team, chiefly as a result of errors by the Lawrence nine. A fifth was made in the fourth inning. The other four tallies came in the eighth inning after the school pitcher had given two bases on balls and hit a third man. Sullivan then hit safely, scoring three men, and came home himself on errors.
