6/2/18 & 6/3/18-Brewery Ommegang Vintage Base Ball Festival, Cooperstown, NY

The Rising Sun Base Ball Club traveled to upstate New York to take part in a tournament arranged by our friends at the Brooklyn Atlantic Base Ball Club.  In the first match against the Flemington Neshanock, the boys fought through the rain and mist to win 12-6.  The second match was played against the host club, the Brooklyn Atlantics.  Brooklyn's bats proved too potent to overcome and the Rising Sun boys lost 13-7.  Day two's first match was a thriller against our friends, the New York Mutuals.  The lead changed multiple times, but Rising Sun ultimately succumbed to the Mutuals in the bottom of the 12th inning, final score 17-16.  The final games was played against our neighbors from the Brandywine Base Ball Club of West Chester.  Both teams fought through fatigue, but Rising Sun came through with the 12-9 win.
