Bloodspear Reaches 2000

MINAS TIRITH - Minas Tirith's Balin Bloodspear got the standing ovation -- but the Bree Cheese got the win.

It was a historic day at Elrod Stadium at Finrod Field. A day when Bloodspear notched hit #2000 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Cheese fans applauded.

The Titans left fielder went 2-4 in a losing cause as Bree spoiled the party with the 4-1 victory.

In the postgame interview, a downhearted Bloodspear 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."

Bloodspear has registered a career batting average of .302 with 2001 hits, 118 homers and 637 RBIs.
