...team had been able to score for eight innings, Yale finally came through with one run and won the game and the series. At the beginning of the ninth, Faherty, Yale's center-fielder singled to third and got to second on a sacrifice by Holmes. Peters grounded to shortstop. The latter threw to McPhee at second in an attempt to force Crane, who had made his base base on balls, but the runner reached the bag safely. In the meantime Faherty made a successful dash for the plate...

On the next play, Withington was forced at the plate. Thayer and Owen again hit safely but were left on bases, when Bancroft struck...
...been considerably curtailed, due to poor playing weather, the Seniors have developed considerable teamwork and have been bunching their hits well together. S. H. Johnson in the pitcher's box is the mainstay of the team, and is well supported in the infield by Captain A. T. Hill at shortstop and S. H. Ladd at first. In the outfield E. A. McCouch in left is easily the best player...
