442nd Loses To Meridian
From Hattiesburg American July 12, 1943
Unable to solve the slants of pitcher Beddingfield, the 442nd Inf. baseball team lost its return match with the Meridian Moss Specials 5 to one Sunday at Meridian.
Uchigaki started on the mound for the Combat Team but was replaced by Higuchi after the second inning when Meridian scored two runs on two doubles and a single. Higuichi held the opposing hitters scoreless until the sixth inning when a walk and four singles brought three more runs across the plate.
The 442nd made its only run in the first inning when leadoff batter Morita was safe on an error, Kashiwaeda bunted him to second, and left fielder Yoshimura came through with a single to score Morita.
The Meridian team earned 14 hits while the 442nd made only five.

The Hattiesburg American was founded in 1897 as a weekly newspaper, the Hattiesburg Progress.[2] In 1907, the Hattiesburg Progress was acquired by The Hattiesburg Daily News. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, the newspaper was renamed the Hattiesburg American.
The Hattiesburg American was purchased by the Harmon family in the 1920s and was sold to the Hederman family in 1960.[2] Gannett acquired the newspaper in 1982.
