...scoring began in the first inning when Baldwin reached first on a fielder's choice and scored on Stephenson's fumble of S tankard's long fly. The score was tied in the third inning by Randall, who made a long drive to right centre for three bases, ad came home on a single by Matthews. In the next inning, however, Mckeon reached first on Coolidge's error, stole second, reached third on a ground ball by Devlin, and scored on Flynn's outfield fly. Neither side scored after this...
