Yale came back in the ninth, however, to gain the verdict. Hammersley beat out a slow roller to Pollard, a lucky break for the Blue which put Barbee in a hole. Vaughan followed with a three base drive to right center, Hammersley scoring, and Caldwell immediately sent Vaughan home with a single over the closed-in infield.
