...second was a pretty exhibition of pitching. Two Holy Cross men reached third and second on a wild pitch and two bases on balls. With no men out a score seemed inevitable, but by very clever work he succeeded in striking cut the next three men at bat...
Harvard played an errorless game. Her batting was a feature; thirteen with a total of twenty-one being made. Hallowell and Sullivan did some particularly creditable work. Hallowell out of four times at the bat made two singles, a double, and a triple. Sullivan's record was equally remarkable, if not more so; out of three times at the bat he made a single, a triple and a home run. Highlands and Mason also batted well. Mason's work behind the bat was creditable, though he appeared a little out of practice, particularly in throwing to bases...

For Harvard, no one could hit Moore safely except Hayes. He made a hit every time he came to the bat. In the field the nine did better, and Winslow's playing at third was especially good. The game was called in the ninth with the score, eight all. Below is given the score by innings...

With one out, Highlands made first on an error, advanced to second on Hallowell's base on balls, to third on Mason's sacrifice and home on Upton's hit. In the eighth, thanks to Hapgood, the game was won. Cook and Sullivan were on third and second, and there were two men out. It was a trying place for Hapgood, and yet there could not have been a prettier hit than the one he planted between centre and right field...
