Metropolitan Baseball League
Week Four: Saturday 13 April 1867
Last year's worst team, Angel Islington, are now the only team in the league without a defeat this year after they won a long battle with the Marylebone Regents. Angel led 4-0 after five innings but let their advantage go in a very bad seventh. After six innings went by without a run, Angel grabbed the crucial score after a Regents error in the fourteenth. Angel outfielder John Moore became the first player to achieve five base hits in one Metropolitan League game.
City of London were also undefeated this morning but their run came to an end after a comfortable loss at the hands of Clapham. The Common scored in five different innings on their way to a 5-1 win.
In the day's final game, the Old Westminsters levelled the score against Kensington with a run in the eighth inning only for Victoria to earn the win in the tenth.
