It was another disappointing day against Baltimore for the Atlantic club today, as they were defeated at Washington Park by a final score of 7-2. The club managed only six hits, and failed to score until the ninth inning, when they were already behind 7-0. While of course it is understandable that with a new club there will be some growing pains, Baltimore has never been a competitive club and this is the sort of bunch our Brooklyn boys should be beating. These last two days have not been good for the honor of the borough and hopefully things will turn around soon.
On the bright side, Adonis Terry did strike out eight Baltimore hitters and Oscar Walker showed some sign of breaking out of his early season slump with two hits. Also, John Crowley, who has been the club’s best hitter so far, added two hits of his own.
