The Atlantics traveled north to Salem, Massachusetts to take on their good friends the Providence Grays. In Salem Common, while ghosts, ghouls and witches doubled as spectators, two matches commenced to the rules of base ball as they were played in 1864.
Blackjack and Tricky Rick played for both teams, having been traded halfway through for each other. With Tricky Rick playing for his former team, TC took advantage of his own rare catching appearance to throw Rick out stealing. Willy Mo had 5 hits, and Tuna had 4 while Shakespeare snagged 7 bases around the diamond on the day. Dreambucket had a solid on defense and found gaps in the outfield for a homerun in each game. This day the Atlantics took both ends of the doubleheader by the scores of 14-6 and 25-4.
