Grays Celebrate 25 Years of Resolutes Base Ball This Weekend

 

The Providence Grays, winners of four of their last six, conclude the month of June and surpass 20 games in 2024 this weekend (June 29-30) at the Elizabeth Resolutes 25^th Anniversary Festival and Paul Salomone History Day in Rahway, N.J.

 

Last time out, the Grays split a doubleheader with the Lisbon Tunnelmen at the Bristol (R.I.) Town Common on June 15. It was an entertaining day of base ball for the Bristol Fourth of July Committee Event, as Lisbon took game one 9-6 (1864) and Providence won via walk off, 10-9, in an 1865-rules game two.

 

The Grays enter the weekend at 8-10 on the season, carrying recent momentum into New Jersey as they look to break .500. Providence will take on the host Resolutes at 10 a.m. on Saturday, followed by a showdown with the Bovina (N.Y.) Dairymen at 2 p.m. Both games will be contested by the rules of 1870.

 

On Sunday, the Rhode Islanders play a pair of 1864 matches against the Flemington (N.J.) Neshanock (10 a.m.) and Eclipse BBC of Elkton, Maryland (12 p.m.) to round out the festival.
