Erlingby, who had taken Ogden’s place in the box for Wyndham at the beginning of the eighth inning, started out with a pass to the visitor’s third baseman. He followed that with a wild throw in an effort to catch the runner off the bag, and the High School player went all the way to third. That worried Erlingby and heartened the visitors. The next man up laid a slow bunt down on the first base line and Erlingby handled it. The man on third faked a dash to the plate, delaying the pitcher just long enough to make his hurried throw to Van Dyke, at first, too late. The High School left fielder hit to short right and scored the first runner, the latter beating Coles’ shot to the plate by an eyelash. A pinch hitter batted for the next on the list and cracked the first ball pitched into deep left. Talbott made a pretty running catch, but another run tallied. The enemy’s catcher fouled off four balls before he straightened one out right across second base. That brought in the third score of the inning. In trying to reach second on Greene’s peg to the rubber, however, the Freeburg catcher was caught a yard off the cushion, and, with two down and the pitcher up, Wyndham breathed with relief. A second pinch hitter took the pitcher’s place, though, and several bad moments ensued. Erlingby failed twice to cut the corners and then scored a strike on a long foul down the left base-line. Another ball, and then a fast one across the platter and a second foul-strike. A third foul, back of the plate, just escaped Cobham’s glove. Then the batsman crashed against the next delivery and drove it high and far into left field. Once again Sid Talbott won applause from the remaining handful of spectators, this time by sprinting far to his right and getting under the ball just as it came to earth, foul by more than a yard. That ended the rally and the game, giving Wyndham the contest, 13 to 11.
