Their two closest challengers met at Kensington, where the visiting City of London Club broke a 1-1 tie with four runs in the eleventh inning. Victoria responded with two of their own, but could not get back on level terms.
In the day's other game, Clapham Common needed only one ninth inning run to overcome Angel Islington, as their pitcher Michael Barlow shut down Angel allowing just four hits over nine innings.
