From Protoball Entry #1858.35 -- New York Game Seen in Boston: Portland [ME] 47, Tri-Mountains 42.

“It took awhile but this modern game – and its popularity – moved steadily north. By 1858 we know it had arrived in Maine . . . because an article in the September 11th issue of the Portland Daily Advertiser heralded the fact that the Portland Base Ball Club had ventured to Boston to play the Tri-Mountain Base Ball Club of that city. The game was played September 9th on the Boston Common.” Portland won, 47- 42.
