"Whoop! Hurrah! That's the way to do it! One run in and another on the way."
"Keep it up, Brill! You've struck your winning streak!"
"Oh, dear! I do hope Sam can bring that run in!" came from Grace.
"It might have been a home run if he had only run a little faster," remarked Chester Waltham.
"Faster!" retorted Tom, quickly. "Why, he legged it like greased lightning! Most players would have gotten only two bags out of that hit."
Following this batting came another out, but then the next man up managed to reach first, and amid a wild cheering on the part of the Brillites, and a loud tooting of horns, Sam rushed over the home plate.
"Hurrah! Hurrah! Another run!"
"That makes the score four to five!"
"Keep up the good work, Brill!"
But that was the end of the run getting for the time being. Then Roxley came to the bat, and amid the most intense feeling Jack Dudley managed to pitch out three men in succession and the score went up on the board: Brill 4—Roxley 5.
