Looking through Sporting Life from 1889, I have found that Brooklyn played two exhibition games against the Mets on April 3rd and 4th of that year. The first game ended in a 23-1 Brooklyn victory, and the second in a 13-5 Brooklyn win for the sweep. The scorecard above seems to be for the second game.
