Galealbo Elvàwen of the Moria Miners Garners Shire Conference Pitcher of the Month Award

The Moria Miners owe Galealbo Elvàwen a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's more dominant starters in April, Elvàwen tore the opposition to ribbons, posting an ERA of 1.54 with 46 Ks in 46.2 innings. More important, he compiled a 5-1 record and was honored as the Pitcher of the Month in the Shire Conference.

"When you're pitching this well," analyzed Elvàwen, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it--the team judges it--by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now, and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff--exact same pitch selection and location--and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is."
