Lewes Base Ball Club to host Kennett Square Aug. 7

The Lewes Base Ball Club will continue its season Saturday, Aug. 7, against the club from Kennett Square, Pa., with the first pitch at noon. A traditional doubleheader will take place using 1864 rules. The game will be played at the field at the Villages of Five Points.

The Lewes Base Ball Club plays by 1864 rules, which include balls being caught on one bounce for an out, no fielding gloves in use, and other fun, historically accurate, 19th century policies for America’s pastime. The Lewes Base Ball Club is supported by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Dover Downs Casino. The club is a nonprofit organization and membership is open to all.
