Mirkwood takes 9th straight trip to playoffs
MIRKWOOD - It took them until the next-to-last day of the season to clinch it, but the Mirkwood Marauders have won their 7th Elf Division pennant. It didn't come easy this year, with early challenges from Minas Tirith and Rivendell, then a race down to the wire with Old Forest, but the team persevered, finishing with the best pitching numbers in the Shire Conference (a team ERA of 3.08).
