The visitors apparently sewed things up in the second when they counted four more on singles by Brottem, Young, Moran and Walsh. together with an infield error and a stolen base
 Brottem and Bowman hit safe in the third frame, but the former was forced at third on Young's attempted bunt and the latter went out at the plate trying to count on Walkers error. Ha- worth made great play in blocking Bowman off the bag as he came to Tommy Long succeeded Comstock in the box after the third and allowed a base on balls a two-bagger and a sacrifice fly to score another in the fourth. Tommy then settled down and only one Traveler reached first in the last three innings
 The Barons went out in order in the first frame and although Haworth and Bernsen singled in the second, nobody scored.
