Yale's first batter, Greenway, placed a single over second base; Rustin and Keator were out on high infield flies. Redington hit a long two-bagger to left field, but both men were left on Carter's hit to Winslow. Scannell hit the ball hard, but it went directly into Speer's hands. Hayes struck out, but Highlands got in a lucky single past Rustin. Paine's fly was caught by Redington...
Adams drove a hard grounder down to Lowney, which was not handled in time to put out the batter, and Rand followed by a hit. Scannell's hot grounder was too much for Steere, and the first two men scored. Scannell was thrown out at second by Lauder. The side was retired by Stevenson going out to Bustard...

Two men had gone out and Quinby, Yale's most uncertain batter, stood at the plate. He was wise, and Pitcher Altman was unsteady, and a base on balls was the result. Quinby started to steal second just as Speer cracked out a corking single to Easton at centre. Easton slammed the ball rather recklessly into the centre of the diamond, aiming to hold...
...pretty double plays were made during the game. In the fifth Speer singled and took second on Fincke's fierce hit, but Fincke and the next batter, Greenway, were doubled up, Ward shoving Greenway's grounder to Brooks, who completed the play by shooting the ball to Otto. Yale closed the game by Quinby fielding Altman's grounders to Rustin, who touched second base, retiring Bradley, and getting the ball to first in time to head off Altman...
...wretched fielding of the whole nine. Of the infield Wrenn and Paine, each of whom played but three innings, were the only men who did not make an error. Highlands and Scannell both muffed easy flies and the latter also dropped the ball on a third strike, letting the batter reach first. Stevenson and Whittemore both had an off day, each making two errors...
