Highlands pitched for the first five innings, and did remarkably fine work. He showed more speed than he has done for a long while, and struck out eleven men out of fifteen. Mason held him very well and threw to bases finely. Bates pitched the last four innings and only once was hit safely...
Wiggin pitched for the first time since the Easter trip, and did very well. He struck out eleven men, and seemed to have considerable speed. Upton caught him very creditably, on the whole.
