Description | The Eckford BBC postponed this match until their pitcher, Joe Sprague, returned from a three month volunteer stint with the 13th Regiment New York State Militia. It was the deciding match in the three game series with the Atlantics and enabled the Eckford BBC to be regarded as the 1862 National Association of Base Ball Players Champion. The Atlantics, predictably, claimed that they were unaware that the match was for the Silver Ball Trophy. |

Comment | This match is also widely referenced as Joe Sprague's debut for the Eckford BBC; however, that is incorrect. He first pitching for the Eckfords on November 4, 1861, against the Hudson River Club of Newburgh, NY. (E. Miklich) Edit with form to add a comment |
