...been for seven errors by Holy Cross, the University team would have had difficulty in winning, for none of the four runs were earned, and two of Holy Cross's were. Some good chances were lost by poor base-running and by hits not coming with men on the bases. But, on the other hand, there were many bright spots in the work of the team, such as Leonard's base-running, and the fielding. Currier caught two men at second at critical times by swift, accurate throws, and played well behind the bat. Simons covered a large area...
...reached second on Cashen's sacrifice, and third on Larkin's out, Hicks to Harding. Barry then singled sharply to left, scoring the run, but Mansfield was out, Leonard to Harding.

...fifth with two out Leonard singled and stole second, while McCall waited for a base on balls. The two then worked a clever double steal. Harvey hit towards the pitcher, who blocked the ball so that the second baseman just got the runner at first and put the side out. Aronson's home run in the next inning came with none out. After two were gone Simons singled and stole second, but was left when Harding flied to Ebeling. With one out in the ninth Aronson received a pass and went to third on Lanigan's grounder to short.
