Lothlorien Third Baseman Week's Best in MC

The premier performer in the Mordor Conference this week was Fesil Goldkiller of the Lothlorien Lumberjacks.

The hot-hitting 24-year-old third baseman put up a .417 average and .462 on-base percentage, piling up 10 hits in 24 at-bats, 4 home runs, 15 RBIs and 6 runs scored.

That kind of hitting got him the MC Player of the Week honors.

Goldkiller is hitting at a .268 mark this season. His stats show 18 home runs, 72 RBIs and 70 runs scored. He has played 141 games for the Lumberjacks.

SC Star of the Week Chosen

Ralin Rockbinder had a week for the ages as he romped to the Shire Conference Player of the Week Award. The happy-go-lucky 37-year-old still plays ball like a kid, mashing and slashing as he goes.

The Bywater Bounders left fielder hit .476 last week as he chalked up 10 hits in 21 at-bats, 3 home runs, 11 RBIs and 8 runs scored.

Rockbinder is presently hitting at a .284 pace with 16 home runs and 61 RBIs. He has played in 121 games and scored 72 times.

Chubb Tames Lake Town for #200

History was made September 8 at Shire Greens Stadium - Frodo Chubb won game #200 to seal his name in the record books. The Old Forest ace downed the Lake Town Archers 8-3 to gain entrance into the elite 200 Club.

"I was wound up at first. I think I threw too hard," remarked Chubb, "I had to calm down and go out there and pitch...not just throw. I think I got better as the game wore on. I started to think less about 200 wins and more about doing what I had to do."

Lifetime Chubb has 200 wins and 111 losses and a 2.80 ERA.

Their motto for the season was "Win or Die Trying".

"They never let up and they never stopped trying the whole season," the Herders manager proudly told reporters. "They hustled and fought the whole season and it continued in the playoffs. They are a very special bunch of guys."
