...defeating Ninety-seven in a close game by the score of three to nothing. The Freshmen out-played their opponents at all points of the game and had decidedly the better team. Although the game was close it lacked interest owing to the fact that neither side could hit the ball safely. Only four safe hits were made during the whole game, and all of these were made by the Freshmen...

There was but one out, so a single would tie the score. Mains settled down and struck out the next two men. This ended both the scoring and the sharp playing...
