Showing marked improvement as a result of the three days of practice last week, the University baseball team defeated the Freshmen yesterday by a score of 6 to 2. A. L. Peirson '20, who pitched the entire nine innings for the University nine, kept the 1921 hits well scattered and was able to hold his opponents to two runs.
The outcome of the engagement was in doubt until the eighth inning, when the upperclassmen pushed across four runs. Evans and Fischer were safe on two fielders' choices. Hallowell walked, filling the bases. Gross was hit by the pitcher, forcing in the first score, and a second was made when McCouch was passed. Gammack's timely single scored Hallowell and Gross with the final runs of the game. Triples by J. T. Baldwin '21 and T. H. Gammack '20, and a double by H. P. King '21, were the only extrabase hits of the contest.
The Freshmen will meet Rindge Technical School tomorrow, and the University will open the triangular series with Princeton this Saturday on Soldiers Field. For this reason practice has been pushed ahead rapidly during the past four days to get the men in good shape.
