The Atlantics met their longtime competitors, the Roxbury Nine, at Kirkside Park alongside the east branch of the Delaware River. In the shadow of the Catskill Mountains the two vintage teams played an 1864 and 1898 doubleheader. The first match showed off the Atlantics defense as they put up eight whitewashes in a row before allowing a single ace to cross the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Atlantic lineup scored in bunches throughout the game as eight Atlantics struck hits in the match led by Sean 'Toothpick' Ness who had three aces, Kevin 'Flash' Harrison who had a homerun and two aces, and Anthony 'Dirty Pirate' Cannino and Frank 'Shakespeare' Van Zant who had doubles. Richard 'Tree' Ness pitched the complete game victory.
After a short break, the second overhand match was broadcast on local Roxbury radio station WIOX. The Atlantics batted first but started off the game quietly going 1-2-3 in the first inning. Shakespeare took to the pitching line for the Atlantics but after quickly finding runners on the corners the stellar poet injured his groin while attempting a pick-off. Dean 'Dreambucket' Emma came into the game to pitch in his place and did a fine job of it with Roxbury only scoring their one runner from third.
The Atlantics tied the match in the top of the second on a passed ball and both teams played the game tough the rest of the way. Seven Atlantics had hits, including Flash with two doubles and three aces, and Dreambucket with a double and two aces but some misplays in the outfield gave the home team enough of a lead to take the 11-6 victory. Dreambucket pitched admirably the rest of the game to the brazen behinds of Toothpick and Matt 'Krawler' Kouyoumdjian while rumors abound of an Ed 'Pigtail' Elmore sighting in the outfield.
