Yesterday afternoon the Freshman team defeated Worcester Academy in a rather close game, by the score of six to four. The Freshman played a better game in the field than Worcester Academy, but they were very weak at the bat, the made only three hits, while the academy nine made six early in the game. While trying for second base, Litchfield sprained his ankle, and had to stop playing; he will probably be laid up for some time. Farr pitched for Ninety-nine and though only six hits were made off him, he was very wild. He gave seven bases...
Pote took Scannell's place behind the bat and easily carried off the honors of the afternoon by his fine work. His catching and throwing were fully up to Scannell's standard, and in batting he led the team with two sharp singles and a long three-bagger.

Stevenson's two errors were both made on close plays and were partly excusable. About all the batting of the team was done by Pote, Burgess and T. Stevenson...
Amherst went out in order until the fourth inning, when Sullivan, the first man at the bat, hit for three bases, but was left on third by some good playing by T. Stevenson and Vincent. For Harvard, Haughton's grounder was fumbled by Johnson, but he was forced on Paine's hit to Gregory. Paine was also forced by T.

Stevenson...
Paine was ineffective and was succeeded by Haughton who pitched fairly well. Scannell caught a beautiful game. Dean and Burgess were strongest at the bat...
