5 HITS & 6 RBI FOR NASSAU CO’S PAULSEN
CENTER FIELDER WAS DRIVING FORCE BEHIND HOME SIDE’S DOUBLE-DIGIT WIN OVER ATLANTIC

BROOKLYN (June 27, 1867) – Atlantic BBC & Nassau County entered their tilt at the Long Island Base Ball Grounds a game apart in the standings, but both exited 18-24 (10 GB) thanks to a big Nassau Co. home victory:

It was an easy afternoon for the hosts, with the game effectively over after the 2nd inning thanks to proficient Nassau Co. batsmanship. N.C. received four hits from Cecil Walker and three hits from 2B Jesse Monroe & OF Riso Sperner, but the clear N.C. player of the game was CF Lewis Paulsen:

• B1: 2-run Single past 2B off O. Sorensen
• B2: 1-run Single past SS off O. Sorensen (Run)
• B4: 1-run Single to CF off B. Chastain
• B6: 1-run Triple to CF off B. Chastain (Run)
• B8: 1-run Single to CF off B. Chastain
• TOTAL: 5/5, 3B, 2 R, 6 RBI, 7 TB, 96 GMSC

Paulsen, in his sixth year as a member of Nassau Co., has been struggling in his first season as a member of the senior squad, batting just .191 with 12 RBI in 39 starts at CF before Thursday’s outburst. This could be the start of better things for the 25-year-old.
