Rising Sun vs. Chesapeake & Hoboken

The club traveled to Jerusalem Mill on Little Gunpowder Falls in Harford County, Maryland to play the Chesapeake Nine and Hoboken Nine from New Jersey.  The bats struck immediately in match 1 vs. Chesapeake, with the Rising Sun boy tallying runs in nearly every inning.  The offense remained steady to offset Chesapeake's big bats and the Rising Sun club won 17-10.  The second match got off with a quick start as the boys tallied 9 runs in the first two innings.  Hoboken came back to tie the game in the 5th inning.  Both teams played stellar defense for the remainder of the game with either side adding a run in the 6th.  Rising Sun took the lead with a "Tex" double, steal of third, and a well-timed walk.  In the end, the boys took the match 11-10.
