...Lang out from foul bunt on third strike...
...running was, with one exception, well judged and fast, and took full advantage of Pennsylvania's misplays. Besides being timely and hard the batting was scientific. Three times when the first man up in an inning reached first base the second batter sacrificed him to second with an excellent bunt, and the run was then scored on a hit. If the game had been close this system would have been very valuable. In the field, the almost mechanical team play in throwing and backing up did not, however, lessen the blame for the six bad errors...
...held at third in the third inning, and a fast double play in the ninth were both brilliant plays. In spite of a strong wind Clark, Wendell and Stillman caught several high flies which were hard to judge. Stillman, Clark and Fincke made excellent sacrifices on well placed bunts, and Stillman made a hit by beating out a bunt...
...base on balls. His good work was somewhat marred by a wild pitch which advanced a runner to third base in the second inning, and by one fielding error. Clarkson, who pitched the rest of the game, was also very effective. Lafayette's only hit was a bunt towards third base, which Clark did not touch, expecting it to roll outside the foul line. As usual, Clarkson struck out a large number of batters, and in the sixth inning, after giving two bases, with one out, he prevented Lafayette from scoring by striking out the next two men. For Lafayette...
Kernan's work behind the bat shows promise. He showed, however, a lack of steadiness, especially in holding third strikes. Frantz covered first base satisfactorily, and Coolidge fielded his position remarkably well. Clark's one assist was on a bunt, which he handled cleanly and quickly. Murphy opened the game with an error, but after that did well. In the whole game Lafayette hit the ball to the outfield but once, and then it was easily handled by Putnam. Higgs was slow in backing up second, and allowed a runner to take third on a high throw by Kernan...
