...Crimson outfit, both in the outfield and in the inner defenses, played the same sterling, wide-awake ball that brought it victory over the Tigers in the first Big Three series. The hitting was weak throughout. Coach Mitchell's charges collected only four hits off the southpaw offerings of Quill.
