In its first victory of the season, the Freshman baseball team overwhelmed the St. Anselms nine by a 22 to 6 score knocking the visitors first pitcher out of the box in the first inning when Harvard scored eight runs with five hits one of which was a home run by W. B. Wood '32.
Wood who starred for the second time this season in yesterday's game made the longest hit of the Freshman season when he clouted the ball for a long drive which landed in front of the new cage from the Freshman field. Wood who is leading the 1932 team with a .545 average in the first three games has now a home run and two three base hits to his cerdit.
All the Harvard men who batted made at least one hit while Phineas Tobe '32 had a perfect record with three bases on balls and two hits to his credit in five trips to the plate.
The playing on both sides was ragged and the game was featured by errors which accounted for one run of St. Auselms and four of the Freshmen.
The game, which had been postponed from April 17 because of rain, was called at the end of the first half of the eighth inning.
