Glass jammed his left pinkie between two pieces of steel at work on Friday, but elected to play against Dederang on Saturday as the club was in danger of playing a man short.
"I smashed all the end of the pinkie, lost a nail and the flesh was stuffed," he said.
Normally a top order batsman, Glass batted himself at number eight.
"We were in a bit of strife, so I just tried to resurrect the innings," he said.
Glass posted 36 runs from 36 balls, including three boundaries, which helped the home team to a competitive 157 as Dederang fell short on the Duckworth-Lewis system.
"I went through three sets of gloves as they were full of blood," he said.

"They (the medical staff) fixed the nail bed, reattached the old nail and cleaned it up."
Glass is likely to miss Mount Beauty and the re-match against Kiewa.
