The team as a whole had a batting average better than .300 with four members of the starting nine batting well over the .300 mark. The season was begun by splitting a double header with Rio Grande. Other games won were two with Bonebrake Seminary, one with Bluffton and one with Urbana University. In the final game of the season on Cedar Day the Cedarville nine were defeated by•the close margin of 10-8 although they outhit the Wilmington nine.
