...batting was by no means as weak as the score would indicate. Only four men struck out, and they hit the ball as hard and as often as Yale, but directly into the fielders' hands. Yale had very good luck in getting her hits between the bases, while their infielders had hardly to stir from her tracks except in two instances. The Yale men, however, played a much more wide-awake game than Harvard, and ran bases with plenty of dash. Upton backed up Downer well but was off in his throwing to second, and he allowed men to steal...
Amherst, '93, defeated the freshman nine Saturday afternoon on Jarvis field. The score, 6 to 4, was exactly the same as in their game with Yale, '93. Harvard's batting was weak, and there was a good deal of fumbling in the infield. The only excusable error was Watters' muffed fly after a very long run. The features of the game were Hallowell's base-running and batting and Buswell's excellent fielding. The score...
...good deal; but the men were entirely unable to hit the ball safely. Up to the ninth inning Dean's three-baggers was the only hit made by Harvard. In that inning Alward repeated Dean's performance and made a pretty triple. Trafford scratched a hit to the infield, and these comprised the sum total of Harvard's batting. Bates, '91, started in and pitched one inning. His arm was lame, however, and Downes, who took his place, also had a slightly strained arm. The consequence was that Worcester hit rather freely, although, with the exception of Kennedy's home...
Andover I7; H. U., '93, i.The freshman nine went to Andover Saturday and were overwhelmingly defeated by the Phillips Andover Academy team. The Andover men played an errorless game and had no difficulty at the bat in hitting Day. The Harvard infield went all to pieces at times, and the men were very unsteady in their throwing. On the whole the freshmen played wretchedly, getting completely rattled at critical points. Their batting was weak. In the second inning, with the bases full and but one out, they were unable to score. The feature of the game was McCormick's fielding...
...pitched ball and Burns took second; Upton had a passed ball and Downer two wild pitches, on which both men scored. Harvard failed to score in the sixth and seventh inngs. In the eighth inning Harvard scored four times. Downer was out on a grounder to the infield. Burns threw wild to first on Soule's grounder, and the latter got to third. Dean stole second and came in on Linn's timely three bagger to right. Howland flied to centre and Linn tallied on the out. Mason knocked a high fly to centre, which Gould muffed. Mason stole second...
