Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Nine: Saturday 20 May 1865

The highlight of the ninth round of league games was the longest game we have seen so far this season, between the top two clubs in the standings. City of London Club took a 4-0 lead against Marylebone, only for Regents to come back and tie the game in the ninth inning. Nobody could score again until the fifteenth inning when Marylebone took a 5-4 lead and held on to take over first place in the league.

Having not scored for two games, Clapham Common must have feared the worst when they fell behind early on against the Old Westminsters, but they quickly fought back. Five unanswered runs set Common on the way to a 5-2 victory.

Also fighting back from an early deficit were Angel Islington, who scored two runs in the third inning to take a 2-1 lead over Kensington Victoria. Angel managed to hold on to the advantage and after losing their first six games, have now won three in a row and are no longer last in the standings.

Scores:
Kensington Victoria 1-2 Angel Islington
Marylebone Regents 5-4 City of London Club (15 innings)
Old Westminsters 2-5 Clapham Common

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