Fans seated in the bleacher section at Uruk-hai Field were taking cover all day long as Drodgulg Manthrottler zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power.
The big game from the Moria second baseman helped the Miners take the victory, 11-10, over the Dead Marshes Uruk-hai.
“I told myself not to press on the last one,” he told reporters in the postgame press conference. “I knew I couldn’t force it — it has to be a nice easy swing.”
For the game, he collected 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs.
Drodgulg Manthrottler struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Mist Sackville in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Asirassa Peatfingers in the 6th, walked in the 8th, struck out in the 10th, struck out in the 12th and hit a solo-shot off Gumburz Mogan in the 14th.
