Taylor didn't get much rest before the fifth as Malinowski struck out two while facing only five batters. Taylor tired after just two batters, giving up a single to pinch hitter Jim Thomas and walking Durso. Tufts reached into their bullpen once again and came up with Steve deMoraes, who allowed another six Harvard runs to come across the plate...
Nawrocki was sent back to left field and Glenn Erickson, a pinch hitter in the first game, came on to walk in three more runs on thirteen pitches. This wouldn't do, so Sakala brought Bill Ebner over from first base and he managed to get an out, but he also threw three incredibly wild pitches and walked two, allowing three more runs...

Pinch hitter Joe Mackey managed to reach first after Yale first baseman Dick Jauron bobbled the ball and then made a late throw to first that Mackey just beat out by a few angstroms or so. Durso then faced four misplaced pitches to give the game the type of ending little leaguers dream about...
