Blue and Black Have a Rough Go Of It on Long Island

Over the weekend of April 30 – May 1, the Diamond State Base Ball Club traveled north to Long Island to take part in a festival hosted by their friends from the Atlantic BBC.

On Saturday, the first match of the day was against the host club and found the Delaware nine on the short end of a 20-10 final tally.  The second match of the day was much more closely contested and defensively-minded, with the Newtown Sandy Hook BBC coming out ahead of the Blue and Black by the score of 5-2.

The Diamond States returned to the field of play on Sunday under rainy skies and cool temperatures.  The first match of the day was against the Dirigo BBC from Maine.  The crowd was treated to another evenly played match.  However, the Delaware side came up short once again, losing by the score of 15-13.  The final match of the weekend was played against the Eckford BBC.  The Diamond States were unable to turn their fortunes around, losing by the score of 11-1.

For a complete summary of all of the matches played over the course of the festival, see Iron Leaf Press’s coverage.
