Lehigh's revenge, though, was swift.

Three West Point men were struck out almost as rapidly as they could move to the plate.
In the second inning both sides got men to bases, but neither side scored.

In the third Lehigh took one solitary run, but it looked well on the score-board at the north end of the field.
West Point, in the last half of the third, put men on first and second, but that was all.
By the fourth inning, Kennedy was pitching a bit wildly.

Maitland gazed at his comrade of the battery with anxious eyes.

Lehigh began to grin with the ease of the thing now.
