The second game for the freshman championship was won by Yale, giving them the series. The game opened with Harvard at the bat, who were retired in one-two-three order. Gavin, the first Yale man at the bat, received his base on balls; Lyon struck out, and Noye knocked a fly to second who caught it, making a double play, as Gavin, who had run from second to third as the ball was hit, had not time to recover his base. Neither side scored until the third inning, when after the second out two runs were scored for Harvard by a base on balls, error of second, passed ball, and base hits by Halbert and Watson. In the same inning Yale scored one run by a terrible over-throw to first by Mills, giving Britton an unearned run. In the fourth inning Yale scored three more runs by hard batting and a passed ball. Neither side scored again until the seventh, when Harvard succeeded in getting in four more runs by a three base hit by Beaman, base hits by Halbert and Winslow, and a passed ball and wild pitch. In this inning Yale got a run by a base on balls and passed ball, wild pitch and an error by short. In the eighth Yale got another run on a muff of Richards' long fly to centre-field and a base hit by Terry. This tied the score. In the ninth Harvard went out in one-two-three order; Yale scored a run on a base hit by Britton and an error by Winslow. Crocker and Merrill caught well, and neither first baseman made an error. Noye at short and Thayer at second played well. Britton led the batting for Yale, and Halbert and Beaman for Harvard. The following is the score :
