| Text | "A great game of ball, says the Berkshire Courier, cam off in that village on Friday last. The parties numbers 17 on a side, composed of lawyers, justices, merchants mechanics, and in fact a fair proportion of the village populations were engages wither as participants or spectators . . . . The excitement was intense . . . best of all the game was a close one, the aggregate count in [illeg: 8?] innings being 192 and 187."

| Warning | |
| Comment | Berkshire MA is about 5 miles NE of Pittsfield and about 10 miles E of New York state border. This may have been a wicket match. One wonders why a Friday match would have been held. Edit with form to add a comment |
