Game 5 was big. So was Till Underhill.
In leading Numenor to a crucial 3-1 victory over the Minas Morgul Slayers at Capital One Stadium, the Numenor starter rose to the occasion, tossing 6 good innings. Underhill threw 6.0 innings allowing 1 run as the Kings defended their home field to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Fellowship Series.
Màrku Hammersmelter, who led the MC in home runs with 46 in 2051, came through for Numenor with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. The left fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 1 run batted in.
Underhill called the win a test of his team’s “mettle.”
The next game is set to be played for Monday, October 16th , 2051 at Sylvan Cove.
