Grown men turned into little boys, some even breaking into tears, in the Bywater Bounders clubhouse, after the team clinched the Shire Conference Hobbit Division.
“We can relax a bit, for now anyway,” said manager Girith of Rhun. “I’m proud of every guy in the room for what we’ve done this season.”
The club has a 92-68 record as they head towards the playoffs in search of their 3rd Return of the King Series championship. Third Baseman Ferdinand *Puttifoot said the team is happy to clinch what is the club’s 16th division title, but “wouldn’t be happy until we’re lifting that trophy.”
