The Freshman baseball team returned yesterday from its Connecticut trip with three victories to its credit and one defeat, and with a total of 43 runs to 18 by its opponents. The other vacation game on Saturday, April 14, with Middlesex, also resulted in a Freshman victory, the score being 11 to 6. Captain Pollard of Middlesex was replaced in the box by Hardie at the end of the ninth. After this, the opening contest for 1926, John James Maher of Bridgeport, Conn., whose home run had been the feature of the game, was elected to lead the nine.

On Wednesday, April 18, Loomis Institute, the first opponent on the trip, bowed to the Freshmen by the score of 17-4. R. W. Puffer Jr., on the Freshman mound throughout the nine innings, allowed the home team but six hits and showed a brand of control that prevented the issue from ever being in doubt.

Hotchkiss at Lakeville, defeated 12-10, was the next victim of the 1926 nine. Heavy hitting by both sides featured the game, but the Freshmen bunched theirs to advantage in the seventh and drove in five runs for a lead which they kept to the end.

The Freshmen split even in their last two contests, easily taking a game from Taft 12-1 but losing to Choate in the most cleanly played game of the trip by the score of 3-2.
