Game 5 was big. So was Nieven Stryjski.

The Carrock starter rose to the occasion at Badgers Ballpark, leading the Bears to a crucial 4-2 victory over the Narnia Badgers. Stryjski threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball as the Bears won on the road to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Ultimate Championship.

Had Legeron Kidneycrusher not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Kidneycrusher hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Bears.

“Nieven made his pitches,” said Carrock manager Tigia Eladriendel.

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, November 12th , 2052 at Old League Park.

Carrock right fielder Sam *Oakenstaff was the difference-maker for the Bears in what turned into a shootout with the Narnia Badgers. *Oakenstaff earned accolades after going 1-for-3 in the 8-5 Bears win. With the victory, the Bears moved into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Who knows how it might’ve ended, had it not been for Mubgorg Ghoulslicer? The Carrock third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bears on top, 7-4. For the game, Ghoulslicer had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

“We’re happy,” Ghoulslicer told reporters after the win. “When you’re in the playoffs, you’ve got to treat every game like it could be your last.”

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Sunday, November 10th , 2052.

The Carrock Bears have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Narnia Badgers, winning, 5-1, at Badgers Ballpark. Bears right-hander Sudeep Blunt threw 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Bears to 2-1 in the best-of-7 Ultimate Championship.

Carrock used a clutch at-bat from Mubgorg Ghoulslicer to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the second inning to put the Bears ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

“Sudeep has got a slow heartbeat,” said Carrock manager Tigia Eladriendel. “He doesn’t panic or anything.”

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Saturday, November 9th , 2052.

The 21-year-old rookie on the mound turned out to be the least of the Carrock Bears worries.

Giving a high-pressure playoff start to youngster Truzguh the Malicious seemed like a risky move for the Bears, but it was one of the few things that went right at Old League Park. the Malicious tossed 7 solid innings, but it was all for naught after Carrock dropped a 5-1 decision. With the win, Narnia took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 Ultimate Championship.

the Malicious pitched effectively for Carrock. Over 7 innings, he struck out 12 and walked 0, while giving up 1 run.

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Badgers Ballpark.

The Narnia Badgers started the Ultimate Championship in style, winning on the road against the Carrock Bears at Old League Park by a score of 4-3 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Badgers right-hander Orkun Peddle threw 5.0 innings of 3-hit ball.

Narnia used the hitting of Vormina Morealob to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Badgers on top, 4-1. For the game, Morealob had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

“I try to keep my center,” said Peddle, “try to keep things in perspective.”
