[Junipers of Norfolk, Va., vs. Unions of the Thirty-ninth Illinois Regiment 11/24/1865] The play commenced about half-past two o'clock, and the wind being fresh and keen from the north-east, the position of the field was such that the strikers stood dead to leeward of the pitcher, consequently this was exceedingly unfavorable, for it was knocking the ball dead against the wind. Nine innings were played, which occupied about two hours. The score stood at the end of the game forty-four runs in the nine innings for the Unions, and thirty for the Junipers. … The game was well played, and the score will compare favorably with any match played under the unfavorable circumstances of batting against such a fresh breeze as we had yesterday.
