Description	This paper gives an recap of the game played the previous Saturday (June 20) in Faribault between the Minnehaha Base Ball Club of Northfield and the Seabury Club of Faribault. The score was 71-59 in favor of the Minnehahas. This may not have been the first game for either club, but considering the score, neither club probably had much practice or game experience in 1868 or earlier. Northfield MN (1880 pop. about 2,300) is about 40 miles S of Minneapolis.

Comment	The Minnehaha played the St. Croix of Stillwater for the "state championship" in 1868. See Stillwater Republican, Oct. 27, 1868. In June 1868 the Minnehaha had beaten the North Star of St. Paul, which in 1867 had claimed the state championship. [ba] Edit with form to add a comment
