Ørjan Mørkved pitched a gem to help the Bywater Bounders escape with a tight, 2-0 victory over the Old Forest Merry Fellows in a low-scoring Fellowship Series contest. The right-handed Mørkved threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball in the win, just enough for the Bounders on a day when their offense dried up. Bywater now leads the best-of-7 series 2-1.
Mørkved confounded Old Forest hitters. Over 7 innings, he allowed no runs on 2 hits.
“Ørjan was throwing strikes, locating well,” said Bywater manager Sulak Daggerdrinker.
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Saturday, October 14th , 2051.
