The Rivendell Royals defeated the Old Forest Merry Fellows, 2-0, in Game 2 of the Fellowship Series. Doing his part was starter Sudeep Blunt, who threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The win moves Rivendell into a 1-1 tie with Old Forest in the series.
Had Nisin Hagorsson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Hagorsson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Royals.
“Sudeep threw a phenomenal game,” said Rivendell manager Golloron Nerith.
Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday at Shire Greens Stadium.
