...first inning started well. Harvey singled over second base after Lanigan had gone out, pitcher to first. Murphy let the ball get by him and Harvey took an extra base. Currier advanced him to third, but was out at first himself. Simons met the ball squarely only to send it straight into Murphy's hands for the third out. For the next few innings the hits were wasted for either they came too late or the men were out trying to steal second. Lanigan opened the sixth with a clean hit to centre and Harvey's out, Logan to Jefferson...

Princeton's only run came in the last of the eighth. With one out, Dillon hit to Lanigan, who fumbled. Ballin sacrificed him to second, Dillon made a dash for third and Lanigan let Hicks's throw get through him, Dillon scoring.
