...this time the game was close and the result uncertain; but in the fourth inning Harvard dispelled all doubts as to the result of the game by piling up five runs. Crocker and Beaman first went out. Crocker, Gunderson to Doron; Beaman on a strike out. Keep knocked to Gunderson, but Gunderson's throw was muffed by Doron, and Keep got his base, and went to third directly after on a wild pitch. Coolidge was given his base on balls, and went to second. Baker sent a high fly over left field's head, knocking home Keep and Coolidge...

Baker was pocketed by the men on the right, and was kept from breaking through from fear of being spiked...
