Andover played with fair steadiness, with the exception of three errors by the right fielder, and two fumbles by the short-stop. At the bat, however, the men seemed unable to hit with any certainly, the four hits that were made being well scattered...
...Freshmen batted fairly well and showed ability to bunch their hits when necessary; their fielding was marked by accurate throwing to bases and few errors; their base-running, however, was poor. The Second nine showed even more clearly than in the Dean game their remarkable inability to bat, making only three hits in the entire game. Their base-running was creditable, but their fielding slow...
Coolidge, the first man at bat made the first run, when, after receiving a base on balls and gaining second on an error, he stole third and came in on another error.

Dean's batting was the feature of the game. After the first inning, Hutchinson pitched a fair game for the Second nine, allowing only two bases on balls...
