...reach second base. Tift struck out four men, gave one base on balls and allowed four men to reach second. Both pitchers, up to the eighth inning, were supported by excellent fielding. The infielders of both teams covered their positions thoroughly and the outfielders were sure on catching flies. A feature of the game was the difficult catch by Kernan in the second inning of a long foul by Dickinson. In batting, both nines showed ability to hit consistently, although, except in the eighth inning, most of the hits went directly to the fielders...
...eighth inning, when the scoring began, Dickinson, for Brown, made a hit and went to second when Elrod was hit by Coburn. Dickinson then scored on a wild throw to first base by Coburn, and Elrod went to third, scoring when Coburn made a careless catch of Stephenson's throw. McCarty, the first man up in the second half of the inning, made a good three-base hit, and scored on Coburn's single. Randall got his base on balls and the bases were filled by Leonard, who was hit by Tift. Matthews then reached first on a fielder...

The batting, after the first two innings, when Williams did the better work, was fairly satisfactory, although Westerveld was not as effective as in the first game.

...defeated the Harvard chapter in baseball by a score of 17 to 14. Superior ability to bunch its hits won the game for Yale. Errors by both teams were numerous, but the game was closely contested and the result was in doubt to the end. A brilliant one-handed catch by Galey, who played third base for Harvard, was a feature of the game...
...inning, with only one out, a man on second, and one run needed to tie the score, one batter struck out, and the next hit a grounder to the pitcher. With the exception of an error by Kernan that resulted indirectly in a run for Brown, and a poor catch by Randall, the fielding of the University team was good. Kemble's stop of a line hit in the second inning, and a well executed double play by Leonard, Randall, and Matthews, were features of the game. Castle pitched well, though not brilliantly. He had only one strikeout, but barring...
