Hopkins scored in the third off a base-hit and a wild throw by Tyng. Holden took three bases in the fifth on a wild throw by Lamb, and scored on Coolidge's safe hit. Ernst reached his first in the sixth on a muff by Hopkins, second on Wright's safe hit, and scored by sacrifice hits by Olmstead and Winsor. This was the last run scored. Tyng, Wright, and Winsor made safe hits; wretched base running, however, easily disposed of our players and shut out all Harvard's hope of winning the game...

...lost the toss, and went to the bat. For the first three innings each side was retired without runs, Hopkins's two-base hit being the only play at the bat worthy of mention.

...account of the sun, allowed it to drop at his feet. Dailey then retired on a well-caught foul tip to Tyng. Wright missed a foul bound in the fifth, after a long run. Dow made a base-hit in the sixth, and reached second on Cogswell's muff; Wright had previously retired on first. Sawyer flied out to snigg, and Leeds's foul flied to Carl. In this inning Woodhead hit a hard liner to Ernst, who stopped its force, and Leeds very prettily caught it on the fly from his hands. In the seventh Tyng hit hard...
