We managed to strike first with William Day’s RBI-triple in the first inning. But Newark’s big 3-run outburst in the 2nd set us back. After some back-and-forth one-run innings from both teams, we were able to put together a little rally in the top of the 8th, with both Jim Farr and Thomas Kling knocking in runs. We were on top 7-5. Things came crashing down in the bottom half of the inning, with Newark putting up 3 runs to seal the deal and slip by us 8-7. Jim Farr had the best day at the plate, going 3-5 with a triple, 2 runs and an RBI. Kling, Haney, Ryder and Millett each had a pair of hits. Worse than the loss was Thomas Kling getting injured running the bases in the 8th. Charles Edmondson had another shaky start, giving up 5 earned runs over 8 innings with 8 hits, 3 walks and 2 strikeouts.
