Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Twenty-Six: Saturday 15 September 1866

In the twenty-sixth week of last season, the Marylebone Regents clinched the league championship. Exactly a year on, they had to watch as the City of London Club celebrated taking over as champions. It wasn't how the City Club wanted to win the title though, as they went down to a narrow defeat against the Regents. Marylebone took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and although City Club stayed close, they could never get back on level terms.

The celebrations had to wait until news came from down the road in Kensington that the home side had beaten Clapham Common. Clapham led 4-3 in the seventh inning but then gave up three runs, and although they got one back in the ninth it was not enough.

In the day's third game, the Old Westminsters won the battle of the bottom two as a single run in the sixth inning was enough to defeat Angel. Westminsters pitcher Caleb Dean secured a complete game shut-out, allowing Angel just five hits. Dean now has six complete game shut-outs this season, three of them against Angel who will be pleased that they do not have to face him again until next year.

Scores:
Old Westminsters 1-0 Angel Islington
Clapham Common 5-6 Kensington Victoria
City of London Club 4-5 Marylebone Regents

Standings:
City of London Club (C) 18-8
Clapham Common 13-13
Marylebone Regents 13-13
Kensington Victoria 12-14
Old Westminsters 12-14
Angel Islington 10-16
