| The Highland Echo - May 7, 1918 |
So what can we learn from the above two articles compared to what we think we know? Here's the season info from the UT Baseball Record Book.
 |
| 2013 University of Tennessee Baseball Record Book |
The first article says: The great series of the season started last Friday when U.T. came to Maryville and beat the Highlanders in the first game 5-1.
Then it says: After being defeated the day before on her home grounds Maryville went to Knoxville Saturday to haul U.T. into camp in a thrilling eleven inning contest, 9-8.
The second article says: The third game of the U.T. series was lost Friday 4-3.
Looking at a calendar for May of 1918, we see that the first Friday mentioned was the 5/3, not 5/10 as the UT Record Book says and the score was 5-1, not 5-3. The game was played in Maryville.
The info on the Saturday game lines up. 5/4, with the score being 8-9 in 11 innings. The game was played in Knoxville.
The second article's Friday would have been on 5/10, not the 5/11 listed in the Record Book. The score from the article was 4-3, not the 9-4 listed. The game was played in Knoxville.
A look at more of the UT 1918 season is in the works.
