In 1877, Yarmouth split a pair of games against the "Sandwich Resolutes". In a July 4 contest the following year, the Resolutes defeated Yarmouth, 14–2, but the teams played a much more closely contested game when they met once more in 1879. The Yarmouth team met up with a team from Barnstable again in 1883 for a July 4 contest that had become an annual event. The 1883 Yarmouth team featured pitcher Fred Tenney, principal of Yarmouth High School, who went on to play in the major leagues with the Washington Nationals and the Boston Reds of the Union Association.
