DSBBC Wins Two in Wilmington

On August 25, the Diamond State BBC played a pair of matches in the City of Wilmington against the Neshanock BBC of Flemington, NJ.  The first match was played at Rockford Park under 1873 rules.  The New Jersey nine jumped out to a commanding 10-0 advantage after their first turn at the plate.  Not to be discouraged, the Blue and Black came storming back on the strength of 4 tallies in the 3rd and 6 tallies in the 4th.  However, the Delaware bats didn’t stop there, scoring an impressive 11 aces in the 5th inning to take a commanding advantage, coming away with a 25-15 victory in the 7-inning affair. The offensive barrage was led by Blackbart and Dutch, with 6 hits apiece.  Blackbart and Anchor each struck long home runs.

The clubs made a short trip to Hagley Museum for an afternoon rematch played under the rules of 1864.  After the high-scoring pace of the first match, the large crowd at Hagley was treated to a defensive and evenly matched game.  After playing to a 4-4 tie after 3 frames, the Diamond State club plated single runs in the 4th and 5th innings while holding the Neshanock scoreless.  Key insurance runs were added in the 6th inning on the strength of a walk by Devil, singles by Mini and Gator, and then a solid hit into right field by Ring that brought in a pair.   The Flemington club attempted a comeback in the late innings and were able to narrow the gap, but the DSBBC hung on for a 9-6 victory.  The Diamond State BBC was led at the striker’s line by Blackbart, who had 3 hits (including a triple) and 3 aces.
