...wild throw. His dives into second and third were marvellous and amusing. Tyng then commenced his series of hard hits by a beauty to the left, on which Thayer scored. Ernst hit safe to right, and Tyng scored. Two runs to begin with, which were loudly cheered. To Yale the first three innings yielded no returns, no man reaching first base. Wheaton's hit in the first inning was well taken by Latham. In the third Tyng made a glorious three-base drive down between centre and right, which won for him uproarious applause. He soon scored on Tower...
...fourth inning gave Wright a base hit, but no runs were made. Morgan in this inning got the first base hit for Yale by batting a pretty one to left. But Bigelow soon after struck a hot liner to Sawyer, who caught and quickly fielded it to first, catching Morgan and getting a beautiful double play...

Though making a few unusual errors for him, his general play was very fine. Carter did not prove as effective as before, but he is always a hard man to hit. The rest played rather poorly, as the score will show. Their occasional brilliant plays were fully recognized, and applauded by the audience in an impartial and courteous spirit, which New Haven audiences would do well...
