...four innings yesterday were enlivened by two double plays, one by each team. Dartmouth was out in order in the first three innings, Hicks fanning three. At the start of the fourth inning, Norton hit a three-bagger to left centre. Brady fanned, but Daly hit a liner directly into Marshall's hands, and Norton was easily doubled at third...
Rogers opened the game for Harvard with a single to right field, but was caught stealing.

After Lanigan had gone out on a fly to Warwick, McLaughlin hit a liner to centre field, which would in any case have been good for a single.
