Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Five: Saturday 22 April 1865

Aside from the postponed game between Marylebone and Old Westminsters, all teams have now faced each other once across the first five weeks of the league and the standing really could not be much closer.

Marylebone became the fifth team to get the better of Angel Islington as they completed a 3-1 victory, all the scoring coming in the eighth inning as Angel continue to search for their first win.

Clapham Common had been leading the way after four weeks, but today they were comprehensively defeated by Kensington. By the time Clapham got on the board in the ninth inning, they already trailed 7-0 and there was no coming back from that deficit.

In a dramatic game between the Old Westminsters and City of London, the players had to leave the field for more than half an hour in the seventh inning as the rain came down. The score was tied at 1-1 at the time, but happily the game was able to restart and it was the City of London Club who snatched victory with a two-out hit.

Scores:
Marylebone Regents 3-1 Angel Islington
Old Westminsters 1-2 City of London Club
Kensington Victoria 7-1 Clapham Common

Standings:
Marylebone Regents 3-1
City of London Club 3-2
Clapham Common 3-2
Kensington Victoria 3-2
Old Westminsters 2-2
Angel Islington 0-5
