July 16    The Pioneer Base Ball Club takes on one of their historic rivals, the Willamettes of West Linn, using the rules of 1863.

 

July 17    Come to the Parade Ground at the Ft. Vancouver National Historic Site and witness a recreation of base ball from the 1860's.  Bring a chair or a blanket and root for your favorite team.  The Occidentals are composed of park personnel and local citizens and merchants while the Shermans are portrayed by the Civil War reenactors of the 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry representing soldiers stationed at the fort.  Members of the Pioneer Base Ball club will be playing on each side.  This game always starts with a bang as a gun crew from the 1st Oregon fires the mountain howitzer to kick it off.

 

August 21    Come and see a rematch at Ft. Vancouver between the Occidentals of Vancouver and the soldiers at Ft. Vancouver.

 

September 25     The first two matches of this series were split.  Come and see the rubber match of this heated rivalry as the two clubs square off once more to see who is the best of 2010.
