Some excellent plays were made by both teams, but there was not a home ran or toverthe-fence" hit made. Joe Fisher struck out 3 men and Mangum also struck out 3, while Tate, their sole pitcher for the game, only struck out 3. At the beginning of the last half of the ninth inning, Concord's score stood 7 to 0, but by some means Greensboro got one run. This last inning was more any part of the game.
