Bohemia Fire Department

1864

W 28-1

Atlantic and the Bohemia Historical Society celebrated their respective 150th Anniversaries together in a match pitting Atlantic against the Bohemia Fire Department team. Atlantic's defense proved too much for the FD as Atlantic held them to just 1 run. For Atlantic, Shakespeare had 5 hits, and Dream had 4 hits to lead the way. Wildhorse, TC, Toothpick, and Hawk each contributed 3 hits to the offense. Lip got his first hit and scored his first run of the season. Trotter started for Atlantic and picked up his first victory of the season.

4-30-05	Providence Grays	1864	L 10-9
		1884	L 7-6

Atlantic dropped a pair of close games to the visiting Providence Grays. In the first game, an 1864 contest, Atlantic led most of the way, until the Grays pushed across 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th to eke out the 10-9 victory. For Atlantic, Flash had a single, double, and triple, and Shorty had a single and 2 doubles. In the second game, an 1884 game, the Grays squeaked out another one, 7-6, in a rain-shortened contest. Dream and Hawk each had 2 hits for Atlantic.

5-14-05	Roxbury Nine	1898	L 14-8
		1864	W 13-7

Atlantic traveled up north to Kirkside Park, and split a pair with the Roxbury Nine, taking the 1864 game by a score of 13-7 after dropping the 1898 game 14-8. In the opener, Atlantic stayed with Roxbury, trailing 10-8 after 7 1/2 innings, but gave up 4 runs in the 8th, which put the game out. Shorty led Atlantic with a 3 for 4 game, including 2 doubles. Dream had 2 hits (a triple) and a walk, scoring 3 runs. In the second game, the teams played evenly again, until Atlantic took over in the second half of the game, scoring 2 in the 6th, 2 in the 7th, and 4 in the 8th to cap off the victory. Atlantic's stellar defense pulled tight, allowing the Nine only 1 run over the final 3 innings. TC (a double) and Pigtail each had 2 hits for Atlantic.

5-21-05	Elizabeth Resolutes	1873	W 24-19
		1855	W 18-10 (15 innings)

Atlantic traveled north again to meet the Resolutes at the Ringwood Festival in Ringwood, NJ, for 2 contests, including the first of several 1855 games commemorating the 150th anniversary of the founding of the original Brooklyn Atlantic Base Ball Club. In the first contest, an 1873 game, the teams played close until the end, when Atlantic scored 4 runs in the top of the 9th and then held Resolute scoreless, for only the second time in the game, in the bottom half of the 9th, to take the victory 24-19. Atlantic was led by TC with 4 hits including a double, Flash with 4 hits, 2 doubles, Hawk with 3 hits, 2 doubles, and Hammy with 2 hits, reaching base 4 times and scoring all 4 aces. Pigtail pitched the distance for the victory. The 1855 game, a game which requires 21 runs for a victory, was called after 15 innings due to an impending storm (we cleared the field 2 minutes before the rain started), with Atlantic in the lead 18-10. Atlantic scored 4 in the top of the first inning and never trailed. TC again led the way going 6 for 8 (10 hits on the day) and scoring 5 runs. Dream (home run), Shakespeare (double), and Willy Mo (6 stolen bases on the day) each had 4 hits in the game. Hawk had a triple among his 3 hits and pitched the first 13 innings for the victory.

5-29-05	Elizabeth Resolutes	1864	W 18-9
		1873	W 23-10

Atlantic finally got to play on their home field in Smithtown and took advantage as they beat the Resolutes in both ends of a doubleheader, 18-9 in the first 1864 game, and 23-10 in the second, an 1873 contest. Atlantic scored in the first innings of both game and never trailed in either. For the day, Dean went a perfect 10 for 10, leaving him with 11 consecutive hits. He had 3 doubles, a triple, and a home run, scoring 8 aces. Flash went 7 for 10, with a homer in each game. TC and Trotter each had 5 hits, and Toothpick, Willie Mo, Hawk, and Hammy each had 4 hits. Tree started both games and picked up the 2 victories. Atlantic's new scoreboard looked great and added another authentic touch to the home field, thanks to Dream and Tree.

6-05-05	Hancock Nine	1864	W 6-1
		1894	L 18-14

Atlantic welcomed a new team, the Hancock Nine, to their home, and engaged in two wonderful games of base ball on a glorious base ball day. In the first game, Atlantic put on a defensive gem, allowing only 1 run in the 4th inning, to take the 1864 game, 6-1. At one point, Hancock loaded the bases with none out, and Atlantic stoned them without yielding a run. Hancock also flashed some hand, holding Atlantic to a season-low 6 runs. Well done, to both teams in the field. Tree benefitted from the defensive work to pick up his 5th victory of the season. In the second contest, a 7-inning 1894 game, both teams scored twice in the 1st inning, but then Hancock scored 9 in the second and 5 more in the 3rd to take a commanding 16-2 lead. Atlantic pulled together and held them to just 2 more runs the rest of the way as they tried to mount a comeback. Four runs in the 4th highlighted by Shorty's triple, 3 runs in the 5th, 2 more in the 6th on consecutive hits by Tree, Nice&Easy, and Lip, and 3 in the 7th led by Dream's home run, brought Atlantic within 4 runs, as they fell short, 18-14. Toothpick had 3 hits on the day, scoring 4 runs. And a great job umpiring behind the plate by Trotter, in Atlantic's first 1894 rules game.

Rochester Excelsiors

1864

June 12th turned out to be a great day for base ball, with blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and lots of heat. And well it should be, as it was the annual 'Old Dutch' Memorial Base Ball Day for the Atlantic BBC. This day was dedicated to 'Old Dutch', our fallen leader, one of the founding captains of this team. He would have been so proud this year, this 150th Anniversary year of the original Atlantic team. This was HIS original idea, to just have a fun day, playing base ball, with family and friends, and to top it off with a picnic. So, two games were played, and the picnic followed, and everyone had a great time. It turned out just as 'Old Dutch' had planned it. How fitting!

Atlantic traveled to Hoboken, N.J., to participate in the 150th Anniversary of Hoboken celebration, including a special parade and commemoration of the birthplace of base ball. The special guest of honor was Alexander Cartwright IV. Atlantic's opponent for the day was the Resolutes, in an 1870 game. Resolute led early, jumping to a 5-1 score after their turn in the 4th inning, but then Atlantic started up its offense and tightened up its defense, scoring 9 runs while allowing only 2 runs the rest of the way, to gain the victory 10-7. Hammy led the way for Atlantic, going 3 for 3 with a walk, while Shakespeare, Nice&Easy, and Dream each collected 2 hits. Pigtail pitched the distance for the victory.

7-17-05	Oyster Pond Eagles	1864	W 6-5
		1864	W 9-2

Atlantic made its annual trip to Orient to take on the Oyster Pond Eagles. Although Atlantic holds an 8-1 edge over them, the Eagles always prove to be a tough opponent, and today was no exception. Atlantic squeaked by in the first game 6-5, and took the second game 9-2. TC and Dream each had 2 hits, as Atlantic's first 3 batters, Tree, TC, and Dream, each scored in their first two at-bats in the 1st and 4th innings to account for all 6 runs. In the second game, Dream went 4 for 4 and Dapper Dan went 3 for 4 to lead the 15-hit attack. Wildhorse (triple) and Willy Mo each had 2 hits.

		1864	L 6-5

The Gothams visited Atlantic Park for their first meeting this year and came away with their first victory ever over Atlantic, by taking the 2nd game 6-5, after Atlantic had won the opening game 10-5. TC led Atlantic in the first game, going 3 for 3 with a double, 5 stolen bases, and 3 aces. Toothpick added 2 hits with 3 stolen bases, 2 aces, and Shakespeare, Flash, and Hammy each had a double for the Atlantic cause. Tree picked up his 8th win of the season in going the distance.

	Simsbury Taverneers	1876	W 31-6
8-07-05	New London Thames	1864	W 15-8

Atlantic was invited to OBVR for a weekend of base ball, and took full advantage of the opportunity to display their talents as they swept their games, first beating Neshanock 17-7 in an 1864 contest and then Simsbury Taverneers 31-6 in an 1876 contest on Saturday, and completing the sweep by beating New London Thames 15-8 in an 1864 contest on Sunday.

Flemington Neshanock

1864

W 18-3

Atlantic hosted the Flemington Neshanock team for this 150th Anniversary Celebration Day. After a short ceremony commemorating the formation of the original Atlantic team on August 14, 1855, and recognizing Atlantic and all 19th century ballplayers, the words "Striker to the line" bellowed out, signaling the onset of the match. Atlantic struck first, scoring 6 aces in its inning, and never looked back, taking a decisive 18-3 victory in the 1864 game. Shakespeare had 4 hits, including 2 doubles, while Dream had 3 hits, including his team-leading 5th home run of the year. Willy Mo, Hawk, Hammy, and Tree each had 3 hits. Tree started and picked up his 10th victory of the season.

8-28-05	New York Gothams	1864	W 8-1
		1864	W 9-0

Atlantic set out for the Great Lawn in Central Park with a mission, to avenge the recent loss to the Gothams. Atlantic accomplished that in a big way, putting on a superb defensive show in limiting the Gothams to just 8 hits and one unearned run over the two games. Trotter pitched a gem the first game, holding Gotham to 4 hits, giving up the lone unearned run in the 8th inning, to pick up the victory, 8-1. The offense was led by Shakespeare, who went 4 for 4, scoring 3 aces. TC, Dream (double), and Hammy each had 2 hits, while Flash hit a monstrous home run. In the second game, Trotter and Shakespeare led the attack with 3 hits each. Hawk had 2 hits, as did Flash, who hit his second monstrous home run of the day, along with a double. The superb defense again held Gotham to 4 hits, and this time no runs, as Pigtail went the distance to pick up the 9-0 victory.

	Elizabeth Resolutes	1876	W 20-12
9-04-05	Hancock Nine	1855	L 13-12

Roxbury, N.Y. was a perfect setting for a turn-of-the-century event this Labor Day weekend. For Atlantic, the weekend had 2 parts. Saturday was the underhand-pitch tournament for the highly esteemed Harry M Keator Cup, which Atlantic won handily, beating a Gotham/Neshanock contingency 22-0, and beating the Resolutes 20-12. On Sunday, Atlantic played a special commemorative 1855 game in celebration of its 150th anniversary year. In that contest Atlantic fell to Hancock, 13-12, in the bottom of the 10th inning, on another otherwise beautiful base ball day! In the first game, Shakespeare led the way with 4 hits, including 2 doubles, as did Pigtail with 4 hits, while Hawk (4 aces) and Hammy (double, 4 aces) each had 3 hits. TC added a triple and a home run for Atlantic. Tree pitched the shutout for his 11th victory. In the second game, Atlantic was led by Dream with 4 hits (triple, 5 aces). Flash (double), Hawk, and Toothpick each had 3 hits. Pigtail picked up his 6th win. In Sunday's contest, Atlantic never trailed until the final run scored in the bottom of the 10th inning of the time-shortened 1855 match. Shakespeare and Dream each had 3 hits, including a double. Flash had a pair of triples, and Hawk stole 4 more bases and scored 3 more runs to lead Atlantic for the weekend with 13 steals and 10 runs scored. And Pigtail, Jr. moaned all the way home that he should have pitched that game instead!

10-02-05	New London Thames	1864	W 16-9
		1864	W 15-5

Atlantic welcomed a new team, the New London Thames, to Smithtown as they closed out their home schedule this season. New London proved a worthy opponent as they stayed with Atlantic halfway through each game before Atlantic took over and prevailed, 16-9 in the first game, and 15-5 in the second game, both 1864 contests.

10-15-05	New London Thames	1864	W 28-17
		1864	W 7-5

Atlantic finished its 2005 season with a visit to the New London Thames. Once again, Thames led Atlantic after 3 innings, this time 10-8, but Atlantic scored 5 in the 4th, 7 in the 5th, and 5 more in the 6th to come away with a 28-17 victory. Hammy (2 doubles) and Nice&Easy each had 4 hits and 3 runs scored for Atlantic. TC (double, 5 aces), Shakespeare (5 aces), Toothpick, and Pigtail had 3 hits each. Hawk picked up his 3rd win of the season pitching in relief. Thames again jumped out in front early in the second game, leading 5-2 after 2 innings, but Atlantic then shut them down with stellar defense to take the curfew-shortened game, 7-5. TC and Dream each had 2 hits and 2 runs scored. Hawk reached base 8 times on the day, stealing 13 bases and scoring 7 runs. Nice&Easy pitched and picked up his 1st win. The only ones without a hit on the day were the first-base platoon tandem of Flash and Shorty! And a special 'Hats-off' to KL!
