Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Two: Saturday 30 March 1867
The most remarkable story in the first two weeks of the new season must be the form of Angel pitcher Joseph Nicholls. For the second week in a row, he secured a complete game shut-out win, this time against the Old Westminsters who could manage only four hits. For their part, Angel took the lead in the first inning and kept scoring regularly throughout, capped by a four run eighth inning as they won it 9-0.
Champions City of London also have two wins out of two, as they recovered from giving up a first inning run to turn it around with two in the third and go on win 3-2.
In another tight game, Kensington and Clapham both enjoyed single run leads at different times but went to the ninth tied at 3-3. There it was Victoria who found the winning run, taking it 4-3 for their first win of the year.
