Harvard 1907, 9; Groton, 4

The Freshman nine defeated Groton in a slow game at Groton on Saturday by a score of 9 to 4.

All the bat the Freshmen showed some improvement, bunching five of their nine hits in the second inning. The fielding, however, was discouraging. In the infield the men still showed a tendency to drop thrown balls, and in the outfield two costly errors were made. The Freshmen made seven runs and six hits off Little in the first two innings. Auchincloss, who took Little's place in the third inning, proved, however, much more effective, and allowed only three hits. Brennan pitched a fairly creditable game for the Freshmen but was unsteady in the first few innings, hitting three-batsmen, and giving two bases on balls. Dexter played the best game for the Freshmen, accepting seven chances without on error, and making three hits out of four times at bat.
