It’s party time in Bywater. The confetti is flying and residents are smiling.
The Bywater Bounders have reached the mountaintop, capturing the 2049 Return of the King Series today. They defeated the Minas Morgul Slayers 9-4 at Sylvan Cove to officially wrap up the series 4-2.
Asked how it feels to be a champion, left fielder Kudzog Nailslobberer was to the point.
“It feels great, like a million bucks. I’m so happy right now, not just for me but for all the guys,” he said. “We put a lot of work into this and deserve to be champions.”
The team is planning a victory parade and fan appreciation day later in the week. Bywater finished the regular season 93-69 and claimed first place in the Shire Conference Hobbit Division.
