...Wheaton's hit to second and home on Morgan's to Leeds, the last two strikers going out at first. Bigelow, given his base on an error, steals second on Sawyer's slow handling of Tyng's pretty throw, but he is left as Clark retires on a short grounder to Leeds. During this and the following inning we again show our inability to hit Carter. In the sixth Yale also quickly retires. In the seventh Carter hits safe to right. Brown puts a hot one through Leeds on which Carter tries to get home...
...first on an error of the third baseman, took second on a passed ball, and came home op Tyng's two-base hit. Tyng was put out while attempting to steal third.

Wright struck to first base, and was put out. In the next two innings neither nine added anything to their score, but in the fifth Sawyer, after hitting safe, scored the only earned run of the game, coming in on a "two bases" of Holmes's. Score 3 to 1 in favor...
