If there wasn’t a history between Ugak *the Masher of Dead Marshes and Rubrae Tyrneladhelu of Numenor, then there is one now. The incident between the two sparked a bench-clearing scrum with those two being the center of attention. Now they will miss 3 and 7 games respectively as a result of their actions. The league office announced their suspensions today.

“We’re both really competitive,” *the Masher said later, “and sometimes things go a little too far because of it.”

This season, *the Masher is batting .364 with 24 home runs. He has scored 69 runs and driven in 61.

This season, Tyrneladhelu has chalked up no saves, notched a 2-1 record with a 3.90 ERA, allowed 38 hits in his 30 innings of work, struck out 23 and walked 12. Opponents are hitting .304 against the Numenor hurler.

Kapanaktsian Fires No-Hitter Against Ravenhill

The Grey Havens Stars were just hoping for a solid outing from Surzog Kapanaktsian. Instead, they got something special.

The 25-year-old hurler tossed a no-hitter against the Ravenhill Darkwings, helping the Stars take the 2-0 win.

“I felt good throughout the game,” he said after his spectacular outing for the Stars. “As I was going into the ninth inning, I wasn’t nervous. I knew I had a chance to do something special.”

Kapanaktsian’s repertoire has a fastball, slider, cutter, and changeup, and he used it all to full advantage, keeping the Ravenhill hitters off balance all game long. The Grey Havens hurler fanned 11 and walked 3 in his history-making performance.

“His fastball looked about the size of a watermelon seed and it hissed at you as it passed,” Ravenhill manager Rark the Sly joked after the game.

Kapanaktsian has fashioned a 3-8 mark for the season, 4.78 ERA and thrown 105.1 innings in 19 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .256 against him.

Bywater Silences Mirkwood, 3-0

Bywater Bounders starter Gonus Guttrisson really did a number on the Mirkwood Sylvan, shutting them out, 3-0, on 1 hit in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 8 strikeouts.

“We didn’t have good at-bats,” said Mirkwood manager Tavmina Eemli. “I don’t make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn’t show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Guttrisson.”

This season, Guttrisson has compiled a 7-7 record with a 3.72 ERA.
