To blatantly steal from Solly...

Bucklebury wins 1st Shire Championship since 2004
MIRKWOOD - The Bucklebury Fairies became the Shire Conference champions for the first time since 2004 by defeating the reigning league champion Mirkwood Marauders in 5 games in the Two Towers Series. In Game 1, ace Fabur Beardcutter held Mirkwood bats in check and the bullpen stopped a late-inning rally to secure a 5-4 victory. Game 2 saw Bucklebury homers give the Faires an easy 7-2 win. In Game 3, the Fairies did more hitting and former Marauder, Denaumir Deneadur, held his old team to 1 run, as Bucklebury took a commanding 3-0 series lead. Mirkwood fought back in Game 4, winning a classic pitchers' duel with a bottom of the 9th RBI by Mohair Catsquisher. Finally, in Game 5, Torg Shinsnapper dominated Mirkwood, allowing no runs over 8.1 innings, and Scarlett Mawaan blasted 2 HR to win the title for Bucklebury.
