In their third year under head coach Frank Cavanaugh, the team compiled a 2–5–2 record. George S.L. Connor was the team captain.[1]

According to college records, Holy Cross played all of its home games at the newly renamed Fitton Field baseball stadium on the college campus in Worcester, Massachusetts.[1] Contemporary reports suggest that one of the home games, the crosstown rivalry game with WPI, was played at the team's former home stadium off campus, the Worcester Oval.[2]
