...runs, two of which were earned. The Live Oaks then made their unearned runs on errors of Sawyer, Wright, and Tyng. In the next three innings the Live Oaks were retired in one, two, three order, while in the fourth we added one run to our score by a base hit of Tower's. The fifth inning was disastrous to us, for after whitewashing our nine the Live Oaks scored five unearned runs on errors of Leeds, Thatcher, and Tyng. The next two innings added nothing to our score and one to that of our opponents. In the eighth...
Ernst's pitching was even more effective than usual, but five base hits being made on it, while Thatcher caught without a passed ball. Wright played first base with only one error, and that a very excusable one. Tyng made three bad errors, and Leeds and Sawyer two each. In the eighth inning Leeds atoned in some measure for his errors in the first part of the game, by making a wonderful running catch of a low fly. Tower led the batting. Of the Live Oaks, Stratton, Shattuck, and Coggswell did most of the fielding...
...such a tight place that it took them eleven innings to pull out of it. The game was remarkable, not only for the number of innings required to decide it, but also for the inability of our opponents to hit Ernst's pitching. The Bostons made only three base hits, - the fewest they have earned in a full game since their organization...
...Bostons Leonard led off, and was put out at first. O'Rourke made a base hit, got to third on Wright's failure to catch a ball thrown him by Ernst, and came home on Murnan's hit to short stop. Schafer closed the inning with a foul fly to catcher. On our side Holmes led off with a base hit, and stole second where he was left, the next three strikers retiring in order. The second inning resulted in a blank for the Bostons, Manning being left on second after making a clean...
...Harvard, Thayer made a base hit, but was forced out by Tyng's grounder to third. Latham went out on a fly to Leonard; Thatcher hit safe, bringing in Tyng; Sawyer was given his base on called balls, stole second, and scored on a base hit by Holmes. 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...
