HARDINGHAM RUNS WILD AS UNION BATTERS BALTIC
SECOND-YEAR CF TOTALS 6 HITS, 5 RUNS, & 5 RBI WHILE UNION SETS TEAM RECORD FOR RUNS

NEW YORK CITY (May 25, 1872) – Union of Morrisania went into Saturday’s home game against Baltic looking to move past the .500 mark. Union did just that, and how!

In the end, the thirty-run output was a team record for Union. Every starter had multiple hits except pitcher Dennis Foster, and every starter also finished with multiple Runs & RBI to their name except Foster.

While the whole Union team ran riot this afternoon, there was still one standout player: second-year senior team member and first-year regular at CF, Nicholas Hardingham
