Elmhurst University faculty, staff, commissioners, volunteers, and elected officials, staff, commissioners, and volunteers played an old-fashioned ball game using the wildly different rules of 1858 to entertain baseball fans this past June.

After a close game, Elmhurst University won the match 13-12 and took home the trophy. The City of Elmhurst held the trophy in 2023.
