Miami U Defeats Bobcats In First BAA Baseball Game

The Sunday Messenger reports Miami University defeated Ohio University 13 to 3 in the Buckeye Athletic Association opener. Ohio played poorly, committing fielding and hitting miscues as Miami piled up three runs in the second inning and ten more over the next three frames. Ohio’s 17 hits were offset by ragged play, and the article notes Ohio later tightened defensively but could not overcome Miami’s fast, pinched hitting and strong fielding. Additional details about the Ohio-Lincoln game were unavailable at press time.
