The Numenor Kings knotted up the Hobbit Series at Capital One Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Robur Hardbottle. Hardbottle quieted the Dagorlad Disaster, enabling Numenor to grab the 4-0 win and move into a 1-1 tie in the best-of-3 series.
Hardbottle confounded Dagorlad hitters. Over 8 innings, he allowed no runs on 2 hits.
“My job is to throw quality pitches, go as deep as I can, and give us an opportunity,” said Hardbottle.
Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Dagorlad Memorial Stadium.
