...better form than in any other game that it has played, due, no doubt, to the fact that the wicket and the ground generally were much better than those of the other clubs it has played. Brown did far and away the best work for Harvard, both with the bat and the ball. Frost made a grand catch at mid-off. He secured the ball very near the ground, and the catch was loudly applauded...
...Williams college team, and this time succeeded in defeating it in a close, though not especially exciting contest. The nine was deprived of the services of Captain Willard, who was away, but McKean '90, who covered first base in his stead, played a very creditable game both at the bat and in the field. The home team played remarkably well in the field. The out fielders were slow in fielding the ball in, but the work of the infield was good. Much of the credit of winning the game belongs to Downer, who struck out fourteen men. At times...

Dean made a clean hit over second base, stole second and came in on Downer's single. When Harvard came to the bat in the latter half of the ninth inning, the score was eight to seven in favor of the visitors. Willard made a fine three base hit near the foul line in right field, and got gome on Henshaw's single. Neither side scored in the tenth inning. In the eleventh...
