Last Saturday Pennsylvania defeated Harvard at Philadelphia by the score of three to two. The game was very close, lasting ten innings, and with the exception of the fifty inning, when U. of P. scored two runs on Haughton's unlucky throw, Harvard had rather the best of it. After the fifth neither team could score until the tenth, when Wilhelm took first on balls, stole second, and came in on Jackson's single.
The first scoring was by Harvard in the fourth inning. McCornick was given his base on balls. Haughton and Reid flied out, but Robinson Knocked a three-base hit to centre field, scoring McCornick, and then coming in on Foster's hit. Laughlin made the third out. In the fifth, U. of P. scored two runs on a base on balls, Laughlin's error, and a throw by Haughton in which the ball glanced off the shoulder of the base runner into the grandstand. This ended the scoring until the tenth inning when Pennsylvania made the winning run with one man out.
Morse began pitching for Harvard and, though very unsteady, he allowed no runs until the fifth. In the sixth inning Fitz was put in his place. For four innings Fitz pitched excellent ball and allowed only one hit, but in the tenth he let up a little and gave U. of P. an opportunity to score.
Dickson started in the box for Pennsylvania, and until the fourth inning, when Harvard bunched three singles and a triple, did well. In the fifth Brown was substituted for him and Harvard made one hit during the rest of the game.
For Harvard, Rand made some extremely difficult catches; one in the fourth inning of a low fly, saved several runs, and the throw to second completed a double play. The infield did well with the exception of Haughton, who showed a tendency to fumble. Huston and Robinson did well for Pennsylvania, and Jackson also covered considerable ground.
The score and summary follow:
