Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Fourteen: Saturday 24 June 1865

The big game in week fourteen saw the league's top two teams battle it out. City of London Club had a chance to pull level with Marylebone at the top of the standings but instead fell further behind, giving up two runs in the first inning and failing to recover, going down 4-1.

The Old Westminsters finally picked up a win after nine defeats in a row - beating Clapham Common 2-0 thanks to a magnificent pitching performance from Caleb Dean, who got through the whole game allowing just five hits.

Westminsters close the gap on Angel Islington at the bottom of the standings, as Angel went down to defeat at Kensington, a five-run fifth inning crucial to Victoria's 6-2 win. Kensington's Felix Kitt became the first player in the league to score two home runs during the season.

Scores:
Angel Islington 2-6 Kensington Victoria
City of London Club 1-4 Marylebone Regents
Clapham Common 0-2 Old Westminsters

Standings:
Marylebone Regents 11-3
City of London Club 9-5
Clapham Common 7-7
Kensington Victoria 7-7
Angel Islington 4-9
Old Westminsters 3-10
