This weekend the Atlantics went on a New England barn-storming expedition with its first stop at picturesque McLaughlin Vineyards in Newtown, Connecticut to take on the Sandy Hooks in a pair of 1864 matches. These two talented teams showed how evenly matched they are as Newtown began the day by scoring four aces in the first inning. Not to be outdone the Atlantics matched them with four of their own in their turn at bat. The second inning showed off both teams defenses as no aces tallied. Ed 'Pigtail' Elmore kept the Sandy Hooks bats off balance the rest of the way holding them to six total aces even though Mike 'Bulldog' Paes placed two hits into the right field garden. The Sandy Hooks sent Jay 'Mister' Edwards between the lines and although backed by a solid defensive effort gave up nine aces to the Atlantic offense and took the loss.
After a short break the Atlantics switched pitchers and Frank 'Hammy' Obidienzo threw a complete game three ace effort and was backed by an Atlantic defense which accrued two double play balls on nifty defensive plays. The Atlantic offense tallied ten aces and was lead on the day by Dean 'Dreambucket' Emma with five hits including two doubles.
Many of the Atlantics then ventured forward in time to attend the oldest Major League Ball Park in Boston, Massachusetts and see a baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves according to the rules of baseball as they were played in 2012.
The next day the Atlantic wagons turned south to Neutaconkanut Hill Park in Providence, Rhode Island to play the Providence Grays in a double-header.
