Williams Nine Waits 100 Years For Revenge
AMHERST Mass AP It took 100 years but Williams wiped out a black spot in its athletic record. Williams lost the first intercollegiate baseball game ever played 73 32 in 26 innings to Amherst in 1859. They replayed it Saturday using the same rules equipment and uniforms with Williams claiming an 11 5 decision after six innings. In 1859 players did not use gloves. The bat was about the size of a broom handle and the ball was a tiny two ounce affair. The diamond was square with bases 60 feet apart. There were 13 men to a side and only one out to an inning. There were no foul lines so hits could be recorded back over the catchers head.
