Andover failed to score in its half of the ninth, but the University nine, taking advantage of Andover's only costly misplay, won the game by a run in the tenth. With one out, Brennan hit to Merritt but the throw to Shannon was low and the ball bounced off the first baseman's leg to right field, Brennan going to second. Leonard's grounder to Shannon advanced him to third, and he scored on Briggs' hit. Andover got a man on base in the last half of the tenth...

Schildmiller sacrificed and the base-runners moved up a base, both scoring on Merritt's timely hit to centre. McDevitt and Skillen were easy outs...
