The Lothlorien Lumberjacks and the Dol Guldur Dragons will take the Fellowship Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Lumberjacks beat the Dragons, 6-3, at Celebrant Field to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Lothlorien left fielder Nudzud Brainstomper went 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs.
Had Merry Gamwich not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Gamwich hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Lumberjacks.
“Solid performance from our side,” said Lumberjacks manager Borthak Throatslobber.
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Celebrant Field in Caras Galadhon.
