Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.
It was the latter case in 2050, as the Dunharrow Devils topped the Moria Miners 4-1 tonight at Dunharrow Field to win the Return of the King Series. It was the 4th title in franchise history.
“When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we’re the best team in baseball,” said Dunharrow third baseman Misagenes Foebinder, who was named series MVP.
The Devils took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Mordor Conference Orc Division and a 82-80 record.
Dunharrow manager Manuel Hogg grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Foebinder’s words.
“Misagenes said it best — we played better than the other team,” the skipper said.
Hometown officials announced they were already planning a “grand celebration” for the winners in the days to come.
