When all played so well, with so much vim and steadiness, it is perhaps unnecessary to speak of individual accomplishment. But yet too much praise cannot be given to the excellent playing of our pitcher and catcher, the backbone of the Nine. Tyng's batting was something immense; his old reliable black-walnut bat knocking Carter's "effectiveness" into thin air. Ernst pitched in a way that none of those Yale fellows could find out, and he, too, did good work at the bat. The bases were splendidly played, their guardians never failing to do their duty, however difficult. Latham...
...with the visitors in the field. Thayer showed excellent judgment in waiting for good balls, but failing to get them he took first on called balls. He successfully stole second and went to third on Carter's wild throw. His dives into second and third were marvellous and amusing.

To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base. Wheaton...
Thayer opened the fifth inning by a pretty base hit to centre, and, assisted by good running and hits by Tyng and Tower, got in his run. For Yale, Bigelow struck out; then Clark struck a hot one down by Leeds, who stopped it beautifully, but threw too quickly, and by his excusable error Clark got second. Later a passed ball gave him his run, which proved the first and last of Yale's accomplishments. In the sixth Leeds struck out, but Wright and Latham got their bases on good hits, and scored on bad errors by Clark. Sawyer...
...eighth Latham got first and second on Clark's wild throw; Sawyer was out on a "tick and a catch"; Thayer hit safe to left, and Latham, aided by his superb running and Brown's poor throw, scored another run. Tyng then swung the black walnut for another safe hit and brought in Thayer. Downer's good base hit over second was of no avail, as he was soon left. Ernst began the ninth inning by a safe hit over second, but was forced out by Leeds's poor hit to Clark. Errors by Downer and Williams gave Latham first...
