The Rivendell Royals knotted up the Fellowship Series at Royals Stadium, thanks in large part to second baseman Nargiz Deblois. Deblois was 4-4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times as he overpowered the Minas Ithil Wyrms, enabling Rivendell to grab the 6-3 win and move into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.
The Carrock Bears got a strong game from starter Subkrut Shinsnapper, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.
