...spite of hits by Conlon and Jones, hard luck spoiled the Crimson's chances in their time at bat. And in the second inning Yale kept on going. After Diamond had struck out. Parsons made a hit to left and Peters sent a sale one between Emmons and Jones on which Parsons went to third. The double steal was worked and Parsons slipped into home with the second...
