Newark Wins From Newport
by Score of 8 to 7
Newark defeated Newport
in a twelve inning game on
the Newport diamond last
Friday by a score of 8 to 7.
The Newport Independent
had the following to say
about the game. “It took the
Newport club twelve innings
to lose it, and the Newark
club twelve innings to win.
It was anybody’s game for
four innings. It was won and
lost by both teams on several
occasions. In what should
have been a 3-2 Newport vic
tory, loose playing by the
Newport infield and outfield
enabled the Newark club to
turn it into a 8-7 victory for
themselves.
“As we remarked, it was
anybody’s game, part of it
belonging to the spectators,
most of whom were Newport
rooters, as they razzed young
Highland, the Newark twirler
into loosening up ,and letting
three Newport men cross the
plate for a tied score in the
tenth. While speaking of
pitchers, we must give young
17-year-old Highland credit
for throwing a creditable
ball game. Although hit
more often and farther than
his seasoned adversary, Ralph
McDonald, he was tighter in
the pinches and had better
support when the danger sign
was out.
“Charlie Edwards umpired
the game and had the confi
dence of the players. It was
not bad medicine to take a
licking from the Newark
boys. In fact, we don’t know'
of a club we had rather lose
to than the boys from over
the Independence county line,
if we are due to lose.”
