Phil Corcoran Too Much for Old Comrades
Bridgeport’s Old Comrades fell 8 to 4 at Newfield as Phil Corcoran and New Haven’s Freddie Gibbs powered a tense game. Gibbs survived early trouble, with Rube Pollard finishing strong after a rough fourth inning, while Corcoran’s steady pitching and critical hits drove New Haven’s offense. The Orators’ defense limited damage with sharp fielding led by Hill, but multiple Bridgeport errors helped the visitors’ runs.
