...second game of the series was played on the 17th, and was highly exciting and interesting. The Bostons put in the Whites to pitch and catch, with Manning in right field as change pitcher if needed. Up to the fourth inning neither side succeeded in scoring; in the fourth inning, however, the Bostons succeeded in getting in one run, leaving the game one to nothing in their favor. From thence up to the ninth inning there were no more runs made, but in the ninth Leeds and Dow each succeeded in getting in an earned run, making the game...
...Lynn, where they played the Live Oaks. There was quite a large crowd gathered to see the "Oaks" polish off the Harvards; but, for Lynn, it was a very quiet and amiable assemblage. The game was one-sided and rather stupid, it being perfectly evident from the very first inning what the result would be. In the last half of the ninth inning the batting of our Nine was very good.

In the fourth innings, however, after two men were out and a chance was given for the third, Harvard piled up four runs on three base hits by Ernst, Wright, and Latham. From this point on the only interest in the game was to see if Amherst would be whitewashed every inning; and this, from the weak way in which she was batting, seemed not at all improbable. The nearest approach...
...fourth inning Couch, the Amherst catcher, was struck on the back of his hand by the striker's bat, and had his thumb broken. This so demoralized the Amherst men that they refused at first to continue the game; but, after a little persuasion, they yielded, and the game went on. At the end of the ninth inning the score stood eleven to nothing in favor of Harvard...
