...sustained here a week ago Saturday. Connie Murphy struck out four times on that occasion and resolved to get even. Consequently he came in yesterday from the out-field to the pitcher's box. Though he struck out only four men he succeeded in preventing the Harvard team from hitting safely more than twice. Sullivan pitched the first inning, and one hit was made off his delivery. These three hits were all our nine could make, try how they would. But the chief fault in their play, or at any rate, one more easily corrected, was the wretched base running...
Yesterday's defeat was then largely the fault of the nine; perhaps it was even more the fault of the umpire. At a critical moment he called a pretty, perfectly fair hit of Howe's a foul. He allowed Murphy to score when it was perfectly evident to almost every one else on the grounds that he was out at the plate. His judgment of balls and strikes was also bad. The field, moreover, was as bad as the umpire. The attendance was small...
...first two men who went to the bat for Harvard scored. The nine started to work with a vim, and no one would have guessed that these were the only runs we were destined to make during the game. Soule took his base on balls and stole second. Hallowell hit cleanly to centre and Soule took third. Hallowell stole second. Hovey sacrificed, bringing Soule in and advancing Hallowell to third. Trafford knocked a grounder to Parks, who fumbled it, and thus let Hallowell come home. In trying to steal second Trafford was thrown out, and Frothingham went...
Parks led off for Worcester in the second inning with a two-bagger to left field. Moore was hit by a pitched ball. It looked as if Worcester would score, but Lezott struck out, McGrath fouled out to Trafford, and Hayes went out on an infield grounder. Murphy, who had previously been umpiring, now amiably exchanged places with Sullivan, who had been pitching, and Harvard men went out in one, two, three order...
...third inning, after Murphy had flied out, Lynch made a safe hit and got to third on a wild pitch. Bird knocked a high foul to Alward who muffed it. Then Bird made another hit in the same direction, but inside the line, and Lynch came home. Bird took second on O'Brien's sacrifice, and scored on a passed ball and error by Trafford. Parks got his base on balls and Moore hit safely. Lezott sent a long fly to centre which looked safe, but Hallowell caught it prettily and the side was out. For Harvard, Bates reached third...
