RE-ENACTMENT AT YALE

This year, Wesleyan and Yale celebrated the 150th anniversary of baseball at their respective colleges with an exhibition game at Yale Field on Sept. 26. “Both schools have been at the forefront of establishing college baseball and we are excited to recognize all the alums and all the players that have been a part of it,” said Wesleyan Baseball Coach Mark Woodworth ’94. More than 40 Wesleyan baseball alums attended the game at Yale. Each team wore throwback uniforms, with the Cardinals hoping for a better outcome than the 39–13 final score of the original contest. In this 150th anniversary contest, Wesleyan exacted its revenge with a 6–3, 10-inning victory. (Photo by John Van Vlack)
