...amusing. Tyng then commenced his series of hard hits by a beauty to the left, on which Thayer scored. Ernst hit safe to right, and Tyng scored. Two runs to begin with, which were loudly cheered. To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base. Wheaton's hit in the first inning was well taken by Latham. In the third Tyng made a glorious three-base drive down between centre and right, which won for him uproarious applause. He soon scored on Tower's sacrifice hit to second...
...fourth inning gave Wright a base hit, but no runs were made. Morgan in this inning got the first base hit for Yale by batting a pretty one to left. But Bigelow soon after struck a hot liner to Sawyer, who caught and quickly fielded it to first, catching Morgan and getting a beautiful double play...
Thayer opened the fifth inning by a pretty base hit to centre, and, assisted by good running and hits by Tyng and Tower, got in his run. For Yale, Bigelow struck out; then Clark struck a hot one down by Leeds, who stopped it beautifully, but threw too quickly, and by his excusable error Clark got second. Later a passed ball gave him his run, which proved the first and last of Yale's accomplishments.

Ernst began the ninth inning by a safe hit over second, but was forced out by Leeds's poor hit to Clark. Errors by Downer and Williams gave Latham first and second and Leeds third. Wright's force...
...feature of our Nine's play was more praiseworthy than their excellent base running; there was no lagging or misjudgment in this respect. Morgan's catching was the brilliant feature of Yale's play. Though making a few unusual errors for him, his general play was very fine. Carter did not prove as effective as before, but he is always a hard man to hit. The rest played rather poorly, as the score will show. Their occasional brilliant plays were fully recognized, and applauded by the audience in an impartial and courteous spirit, which New Haven audiences would do well...
