The game went fairly even through the first four games, with Douglas trailing by one run, but in the last of the fifth, the Legion brought in four runs by virtue of walks, three hits, and an error at short, which let two runs in. Although pitching at the lot of night no-hit a £ i was performed by James, starting rightfielder for Douglas.
