The game was a pitcher's battle from the very start, and had it not been for fielding errors, neither side would have scored. McKay pitched the entire game for the Freshmen, allowing but few hits and striking out 15 men. Yale used two pitchers, Carr and Tommers, and it was not until the second man was put in the eighth, that Harvard scored...
