Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Seven: Saturday 6 May 1865

The big stories on the seventh week of games were the first match-ups to require extra innings to be played, and at long last the first league win for Angel Islington.

The game at Angel was one of those to need more playing time, being scoreless after the regulation nine innings only for Angel to grab the win 1-0 in the tenth. Angel pitcher Joseph Nicholls was superb as he got through all ten innings without allowing a run.

Extra innings were also needed as Old Westminsters finally met Marylebone for the first time after their week two game was postponed. The teams were level at 2-2 until the eleventh inning, when it was Marylebone who grabbed the win.

Finally, two of the three teams tied at the top of the standings met as City of London took on Kensington. It is now three wins in a row for the City of London club as their two runs in the sixth inning clinched a 3-1 success.

Scores:
Clapham Common 0-1 Angel Islington (10 innings)
City of London Club 3-1 Kensington Victoria
Old Westminsters 2-3 Marylebone Regents (11 innings)

Standings:
City of London Club 5-2
Marylebone Regents 4-2
Clapham Common 4-3
Kensington Victoria 4-3
Old Westminsters 2-4
Angel Islington 1-6
