Then disaster befell the Giants in Boston's half. Snodgrass muffed a long fly by Engle who batted in place of Wood, the Boston hurler, whose hand was injured in the previous inning when he stopped Catcher Myers' hard liner. Engle took second on the muff. Snodgrass then made a magnificent catch of Hooper's fly which seemed good for three basés.
