Lewes Base Ball Club home opener set April 11
The Lewes Base Ball Club will be opening the 2021 season at the Villages of Five Points Sunday, April 11, with a doubleheader beginning at noon.
Lewes will take on the Fair Play Club of Talbot County, Md. Spectators are encouraged to come out and enjoy the ball game, to be played by the rules of 1864. This includes being able to catch the ball on one bounce for an out, not wearing fielding gloves, and other rules from some of the earliest days of baseball. Spectators are encouraged to wear masks and observe social distancing guidelines.
Dogfish Head and Dover Downs are sponsors of the team this season.
