Atlantic returned to Ardoene Field in Providence, RI, to once again face the Providence Grays. The first contest, an 1884 game, stayed close until Atlantic put together a 7-run 6th inning to pull away and then held on for a 19-12 victory. Dreambucket went 5 for 5 with a double and 4 aces to lead Atlantic. Willy Mo and Pigtail had 3 hits apiece, while Shakespeare, Flash, and Hawk added doubles. Shakespeare went the distance to pick up the win.
In the 1864 contest, the Grays jumped out with 2 runs in their first, then whitewashed Atlantic, but Atlantic stormed ahead with 19 runs over the next 4 innings to coast to a 20-9 win. Shakespeare (double, 3 aces), Toothpick (double, ace), Flash (2 aces), Willy Mo (2 aces), and Pigtail (double, 3 aces) all had 3 hits for Atlantic. Wildhorse added a double, while Pigtail picked up the victory.
