Old Forest shortstop Martainn Elaril pounded Rivendell Royals pitchers at Shire Greens Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Merry Fellows from falling, 7-5, in Game 5 of the Fellowship Series. Elaril slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 3, though he couldn’t keep the Merry Fellows from slipping to a 3-2 deficit in the best-of-7 series.
In the top of the second, Rivendell second baseman Nargiz Deblois had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and no one out, Deblois stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 3-0, Rivendell. For the game, he went 3-4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI.
“It’s nice to step up when your team needs you,” said Deblois.
The next game is set to be played for Sunday, October 16th , 2050 at Royals Stadium.
