Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Sixteen: Saturday 8 July 1865
The second half of the season got underway in the same way as the first half ended, with leading teams Marylebone and City of London losing their games. Marylebone were beaten 6-1 by Clapham Common after four seventh inning runs turned a close game into a comfortable Clapham win.
City of London tied their game with Angel Islington at 2-2 in the ninth inning but in the eleventh, Angel put up three runs to take a lead which they would easily keep.
With the two leaders struggling, Kensington Victoria have moved into contention near the top of the standings with three consecutive wins. Their latest success was a 6-0 win over the Old Westminsters, with pitcher Lyn Duncalf allowing just two hits in a complete game shut out.
