While traveling from Providence to Cambridge for Game 2, James learned that Columbia had fired Athletic Director Steve McBride. James was hardly surprised. In the four years (1872-75) that McBride was at the helm, the baseball teams were a combined 107-133. James thought McBride would likely find work elsewhere, as he was only 42 years old.

Steve McBride

There were 1997 people on hand at Crimson Ballpark for Game 2 of the Collegiate Championship Series. It was 73 degrees outside with clear skies, a nearly perfect day at the ballpark. However, there was a moderate wind blowing in from center field that made things feel a bit cooler. Matt Ogle and Eric Weber were again the starters for Brown and Harvard. Brown started the game off with a bang. With one out in the top of the 1st inning, Kevin Scearce hit a home run down the right field line. In any other part of the park, it wouldn't have made it out expect down the lines. Regardless, Brown took an early 1-0 lead.

The Crimson would answer, though, in the bottom of the 2nd. Cameron Baker reaches base on an error, then scores when Adam O'Bryant hits a triple into the right field corner. O'Bryant would tag up from third on a fly out and beat the throw home. After two innings, Harvard leads it 2-1. The Crimson pad their lead in the bottom of the third by getting no hits. But the Bears committed three errors, which led to two Harvard runs. After three, Harvard leads 4-1. Brown gets a run back in the top of the 4th, thanks to a Paul Hines sac fly to make it 4-2. But Harvard would break it open in the 6th inning. After recording two outs, Ogle gives up a single to O'Bryant. After stealing O'Bryant, Ogle intentionally walks Jesse Vest to get to Jacob Doyle. Doyle makes Ogle pay, hitting a triple into deep left center. Two runs score. After another IBB, Ogle makes a wild pick-off throw to first and Doyle scores from third. Ogle gets pulled after that. Harvard plates one more and leads 8-2 after six.

Harvard scores three more runs in the 7th inning and goes on to win this game in blowout fashion, 11-2. The Crimson tie the series 1-1 and send it back to Providence for Game 3.
