Numenor Kings starter Robur Hardbottle really did a number on the Weathertop Witch Kings, shutting them out, 7-0, on 1 hit in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 11 strikeouts.
“We didn’t have good at-bats,” said Weathertop manager Lamli Goldsplitter. “I don’t make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn’t show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Hardbottle.”
This year, Hardbottle has registered 7 wins and 3 losses in 14 starts with a 2.85 ERA while registering 92 strikeouts and 33 walks in 88.1 innings.
