Baker, the '87 pitcher, is pitching a very reliable game for the freshmen. In five, out of six games, the opposing team has failed to reach first base on balls. Litchfield is supporting him finely...
Eighth inning. W. Moffat took first base on balls, but the next three men went out and he could not even reach second.

Coolidge flied out to centre field and Smith scored, tying the game. Baker went out on a pop fly to pitcher, leaving Winslow and Nichols on bases.
