Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Four: Saturday 15 April 1865
There are now no teams left undefeated in the league as Clapham Common lost their first game of the season. With the Old Westminsters playing their first game at home after the postponement two weeks ago, pitcher Caleb Dean shut out Clapham allowing six hits across nine innings to set up a 2-0 victory.
The struggles go on for Angel Islington, who were in contention against Kensington until the seventh inning when Victoria pulled clear to win 5-2. Angel have now lost all four the games this season.
The game between City of London and Marylebone was scoreless after the first six innings. Marylebone fell behind when they gave up a run in the seventh, but the Regents immediately hit back with a decisive four of their own as all the scoring happened in that one inning.
Scores:
Angel Islington 2-5 Kensington Victoria
City of London 1-4 Marylebone Regents
Clapham Common 0-2 Old Westminsters
Standings:
Clapham Common 3-1
