At game time, 17 dogs were visible from the top of the Garcelon Field press box, and Finn-Foley guessed 13 canines. And she guessed a bit too low on the game-time temperature (54 degrees) when it was a balmy 62.<\/p>\n<p>Correct on the dog count correct were Web Harrison, Bates &#8217;63; Brewster Burns, Colby &#8217;84; and Scott Steinberg, Bates &#8217;86.
