MIRKWOOD - Mirkwood's Mohair *Catsquisher got the standing ovation -- but the Bucklebury Fairies got the win. It was a historic day at Woodland Field. A day when *Catsquisher notched hit #2000 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Fairies fans applauded. The Marauders shortstop went 1-3 in a losing cause as Bucklebury spoiled the party with the 8-3 victory.
