| Description | An intrasquad match of the Pioneer BBC of Portland was played on the evening of Friday, August 3, 1866. It appears there were only enough players for 8 to a side. Robert Law (future delegate to the National Association) captained the Fielding Nine, while club Treasurer Joseph Steele captained the Batting Nine. The Fielding Nine held an early 7-2 lead but were down 16-9 after 4 innings. An 8-run, 7th inning rally made things exciting, but the Batting Nine matched their late scoring and held on to win 28-24. The reporter concludes that, "the Pioneers can safely challenge any similar organization for a match, and be almost sure of winning, with picked players." |
