Worcester defeated Bridgeport 6 to 5 yesterday at Newfield Park in an 11 inning game. Absence of Ray Grimes shifted Worcester’s defense and late substitutions led to errors that allowed Bridgeport to tie, with Bosse driving in the deciding runs in the fatal frame as Johnson and Bracket failed to prevent two runs scoring on a mishandled ball.
