Already down in the Fellowship Series, the Lothlorien Lumberjacks put on their best show, beating the Dol Guldur Dragons by a final score of 2-0. Kesil Czempa was special. He threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. Lothlorien now trails Dol Guldur 2-1 in the best-of-7 affair.
A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the eighth, with the game tied, Tigzava Tunnelbiter was at the plate when Lothlorien scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Lumberjacks to go in front, 1-0.
“It’s a big deal,” Tunnelbiter said of the win. “If we had gone to 0-3, we’re pretty much out of it.”
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Friday, October 13th , 2051.
