The Rivendell Royals took down the Minas Ithil Wyrms by the score of 8-3 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the Fellowship Series. The largest share of the credit belongs to Rivendell starter Gaetano Sowell, who threw 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball.
Rivendell used a well-timed hit by Borje Gutiérras to capture the win. The catcher socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 5-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.
Gutiérras said his team “played with determination.”
Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Royals Stadium.
