Yale and Princeton were the only important college nines that the rain failed to keep apart, the Tigers coming out on the long end of a 7 to 5 contest. The Elis started with a rush, piling up five runs in the first four innings and driving Thompson, the Orange and Black twirler, to the bench. Link pitched next and held Yale run-less, while his teammates proceeded to gather hits off Garfield, Walsh, and Watrous, who in turn occupied the pitcher's box for the Elis. The Tigers clinched the game in the sixth and seventh rounds, scoring three runs in each of these innings.

The series now stands with a victory for each team. The deciding contest will be played on Wednesday.
