Bridgeport Orators @ Brooklyn Atlantics
--------
GAME 1, LOST 19-9
GAME 2, LOST 19-7
The Bridgeport Orators took the long trip out to Long Island to face off against their New York counterparts the Brooklyn Atlantics. Playing a scrimmage at a Bridgehampton Historical Society event, the setting was serene and the weather pleasant, though the results left some things to be desired for Bridgeport.
Shaking off early sloppy defense in both games of the 1860's doubleheader, the Orators played seemed to play well overall tightening up on the field and delivering with the bats while trading jabs with the fine gentlemen of the Atlantic club. But, it was no use - the Atlantics bats woke up in the middle of the first game when the Orators were ahead by 4 runs. The barrage of the Atlantics attack didn't stop for the rest of the day, with the team putting up a staggering 38 runs over 18 innings easily stifling any hopes that the O's might stay competitive with the boys from Brooklyn.
