Old school ball

May 5, 1871 


Washington Olympics (Asa Brainard) 
at Boston Red Stockings (Al Spalding)


The Olympics built a 9-1 lead before Boston eventually took an 11-9 lead. Washington immediately regained the lead and never trailed again claiming a 15-12 victory. Considering the era, there were not as many errors as I had anticipated.
