In a very close and hotly contested game the Freshman baseball team defeated the strong Worcester Academy nine 2 to 0 at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. It was Worcester's first defeat in 40 consecutive games. Both pitchers performed phenomenally, Hitchcock for the Freshmen striking out three men and allowing but two hits, and Haas for Worcester striking out 17 men and allowing but four hits. Captain Murray of the Freshman team at third base accepted 10 difficult chances without an error. The Freshmen's only runs came in the sixth inning when Boyden batted out a home run with Wyche on first base. After Boyden's home-run Haas, the Worcester pitcher struck out all eight men that faced him between then and the end of the game. Both teams fielded brilliantly.
