Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Seventeen: Saturday 16 July 1870

The City of London Club got back on track today after last week's loss, breaking a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning at Clapham Common and then adding another run in the eighth to make sure of the win. Kensington Victoria remain in fine form behind the City Club in the standings though, beating a struggling Greenwich team with two runs in the seventh and three more in the eighth. Kensington face the City Club next week and if they are to hold on to any hope of catching the champions, they surely have to win that game.

Greenwich's defeat at Kensington, their fifth loss in a row, means that the Marylebone Regents have now caught them at the bottom of the standings after the Regents won 5-1 at the Old Westminsters, a four run seventh inning the key to their victory despite the Westminsters' Caleb Dean setting a record by earning fourteen strikeouts in a nine-inning game. In the day's other game, the Royal Artillery Barracks scored in each of the first three innings at Angel Islington but were then left holding on when Angel pulled it back to only a 3-2 game in the ninth.

Scores:
Royal Artillery Barracks 3-2 Angel Islington
City of London Club 3-1 Clapham Common
Greenwich Meridian 0-5 Kensington Victoria
Marylebone Regents 5-1 Old Westminsters

Standings:
City of London Club 16-1
Kensington Victoria 12-5
Clapham Common 8-9
Old Westminsters 7-9
Royal Artillery Barracks 7-9
Angel Islington 7-10
Greenwich Meridian 5-12
Marylebone Regents 5-12
