MIRKWOOD - Mirkwood's Curt Ballscarer got the standing ovation on September 20th -- but the Rivendell Royals got the win. It was a historic day at Woodland Field. A day when Ballscarer notched hit #2000 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Royals fans applauded. The Marauders catcher went 4-5 in a losing cause as Rivendell spoiled the party with the 5-3 victory.

In the postgame interview, a downhearted Ballscarer told the media, "We lost -- It's not about individual accomplishments -- we lost."
When pressed further, he admitted his pride in reaching the 2000-hit mark, "A lot of great players never get there. I'm proud, but I would be happier if we had won."

Ballscarer has hit for a .333 career average and totaled 2002 hits, 59 home runs and 825 RBIs.
