Special-The Barons played, and unfortunately lost both matches played today in the Heart of Vintage Base Ball Tournament. Losing 15-12 to Losantiville and to Moscow in the consolation game.
The Barons struck hard in the first match, but so too did the Black Stockings as the lead went back and forth throughout the contest. At the end of the time match, the scoreboard favored the gentlemen of Eden Park.
Both sides played sharp ball, but Losantiville managed to bunch their hits just a bit better than did the Barons, which really decided the game.
In the consolation game, a determined late-game rally seemed to put the Barons ahead, but unfortunately they couldn't hold it against the hard-hitting Moscowites. Once again, the mighty men on the banks of the Ohio managed to hold off the brave Baron club.
The Cincinnati Vintage Base Ball Club, an aggregate of Red Stockings, Buckeyes, with a dash of Springfield Reapers added took home the winners honors for the 2018 edition of this tournament. Our hearty cheers go to them for their signal triumph.
We also must thank our esteemed, honorable hosts, the Blackbottom Nine, for once again putting on a delightful tournament. Any day on the grass is a day well-spent.
