 | Dragons Are Champs of Mordor Conference Troll Division
Monday, September 28th , 2048
"We're not done yet!"
That was the resounding sentiment in the Dol Guldur Dragons locker room when they were told they had clinched the Mordor Conference Troll Division title, for the 9th time. With a 90-66 record, Dol Guldur's stars certainly feel like they have a good chance to go all the way.
"We've learned a lot under Lerin Caverncutter's tutelage this year. He's taught us to never be over-confident, and to play every game like a championship game. I think with him and the team we have, we have a great chance to bring a 3rd championship to Dol Guldur this year," said center fielder Torjus Nicolaescu. |  | Ravenhill Darkwings Clinch First in Mordor Conference Goblin Division

Let loose, Ravenhill fans, your team has won the Mordor Conference Goblin Division.
The Ravenhill Darkwings have officially captured the crown, the 19th in franchise history.
"We've got a team that can do it all and we think do it just as well as anyone in the league," said first baseman Forerunner *Baggins. "I hope no one is taking us lightly once the playoffs start."
Certainly the team's division crown will garner them a fair bit of respect, as the 85-70 record puts the club in position for the franchise's 3rd Tolkien Baseball championship.
"You never get tired of being in the playoffs," said manager Moggek Ghoulslobberer. "This is what you play for." |  | Eagles Clinch Playoff Appearance

Erebor Eagles fans had reason to rejoice tonight, as the team is heading to the Tolkien Baseball playoffs.
With a record of 94-61, Erebor is guaranteed a spot in the postseason, although it remains to be officially decided whether or not that's as Shire Conference Hobbit Division champions or in a wild card position.
"We have fantastic fans and it feels good to give them something to cheer about," said closer Hsin-ping Sandybanks. "Hopefully there's a lot more celebrating to come." | | | SHIRE CONFERENCE STANDINGS |
