Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Eight: Saturday 13 May 1865
A low scoring round of games in week eight saw league leaders City of London win for the fourth game in a row, triumphing 2-0 against a Clapham Common team who have now failed to score in two consecutive games.
Runs in each of the first two innings were enough for Marylebone to beat Kensington, Victoria grabbing a run of their own in the eighth inning but unable to tie the scores.
In a battle of the two teams at the foot of the standings, Angel Islington followed their ten inning win last week with another against the Old Westminsters. Having taken a 2-1 lead in the ninth, they let the advantage slip only to get back on top with a home run in the tenth and this time hold on for the win.
Scores:
Clapham Common 0-2 City of London Club
Marylebone Regents 2-1 Kensington Victoria
Angel Islington 3-2 Old Westminsters (10 innings)
Standings:
City of London Club 6-2
Marylebone Regents 5-2
Clapham Common 4-4
Kensington Victoria 4-4
Old Westminsters 2-5
Angel Islington 2-6
