26-year-old Esmeralda Bramble sent shock waves through Tolkien Baseball last week with an eye-popping performance that brought her the Shire Conference Player of the Week Award.
A newcomer to the league, Bramble made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .560 average, 14 hits in 25 at-bats, no home runs and 4 RBI.
Where the Bywater Bounders first baseman goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Bramble certainly made her mark last week.
For the year Bramble is hitting .300 with 6 home runs. Her stats include 35 RBI and 31 runs scored.
