There was no scoring until the fifth. Then, after Clif had just failed to beat the ball to first――he had struck out abjectly his first time up――and Talbott had popped a weak fly to third baseman, Van Dyke whacked a hard one over first base and got to second by a hair’s breadth. Sam Erlingby got into the hole and then waited for the pitcher to even the score. Then he swung mightily at what was meant for a third strike, and the ball glanced off his bat and went bounding toward third base. Third baseman came in hard, sought to scoop the ball up one-handed, missed it and both runners were safe. It remained for Pat Tyson to produce a score, and Pat came across with a clean hit into left that sent Van Dyke scampering across the plate with the initial tally of the game. But that ended the scoring for another inning, for Erlingby was out at third when Raiford hit to shortstop, and Wolcott, although she got a runner to second, was not yet able to solve Erlingby’s slants. Wyndham went down expeditiously in the sixth and the audience began to wonder if this was to be another 1 to 0 game. Wolcott answered the question speedily, however, for the sixth was the Brown’s big inning. Rice, the pitcher, started the trouble with a short fly that Wink Coles was unable to capture, although he made a gallant attempt. A sacrifice put Rice on second. Then Erlingby let down and, presto, the three bags were occupied, there was but one man away and the Wolcott shortstop, a hard hitter, was up. Erlingby pitched two balls without getting a strike across, and then a halt was called and Sam retired, cheered by his schoolmates but looking rather dejected. Coach Connover selected Bud Moore to carry on the game. To some it seemed that Jeff Ogden might have been his choice, but since Jeff would be called on to pitch to-morrow it was doubtless the part of wisdom to give him the benefit of another day’s rest. Bud faced a hard task and began it none too well when the best he could do was put one strike over and then pitch two more balls, forcing in the tying run. A liner to Coles was knocked down, but he messed up the recovery of the ball and the runner from third was safe at the plate by inches only. However, Risley’s quick throw to third got the next runner for the second out. A long fly to left field was misjudged by Talbott, and a third tally came in. Another fly, this time to center field, sent Clif speeding back and back until it seemed to him that he must presently crash into the wall of the dormitory there. But he didn’t get quite to the building, and when the ball came down he was luckily under it, and the big inning came to an end right then.
