Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Harrison Specters hosting the Maplewood Lumberjacks. Fluffina got Maplewood started with a reasonable 326 in a solid season debut. Slinks barely saved one ball before watching another one fly over her bat, ending her turn at 39 points for Harrison. Bryant tacked on 209 for the Lumberjacks to beef up the lead a bit. Twinkie II erased the entire deficit and then some, slamming 594 for the Specters to take the lead. Diddley grabbed 500 for Maplewood to regain the lead in a game that gets wilder as it goes along. Sydney couldn't keep up, chipping 80 for Harrison as the rookie shows some signs of struggling in the sport. Cubby poked 138 for the Lumberjacks, producing a final of 1173. Brownie's 24 put the Specters well short of the mark at 737 total points in another loss. Maplewood starts off 1-0, while Harrison is down to 1-2 with no scoring depth to speak of.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: Two teams with dramatic image changes battle in this stanza. Delila provided a solid 319 for Atlantic as her bounce-back season continues. Smudge tailed off to 181 for Infinity near the end of her turn. Amber slapped 727 for the Pirates to put them in firm control as the game approaches halfway.

Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: Smokey knocked 264 to get Diamond started. Lighton took a slight lead when Acorn tallied 304 in the lead-off role for his team. Citrus hauled in 314 for the Gems, declining the replay option at the end of her turn from the technical error. Spirit answered with 496 for the Prestige, keeping them in the lead. Pedey scored 283 for Diamond, keeping them in the game. Twinkie I erased all of that and more, boosting the Lighton lead with a 509-point pummeling.

UPS Ground in Maplewood: Starlight swatted 495 for Pacific to begin. Fluffina chipped back with 304 for Maplewood in a solid showing. Ms. Kitty kept the high-flying Volcanoes offense on pace, drilling a stunning 840 to pad the lead. Bryant's poor angle decision gave him just 57 for the Lumberjacks, as they fall far behind at the halfway point. Jack failed to give Pacific any extra distance, scoring 57 as well when he couldn't handle three balls near his bat. Diddley pulled in 339 for Maplewood, getting them a little bit closer. Leonette tacked on 177 to give the Volcanoes a final score of 1569. Cubby did alright with 310, but the Lumberjacks needed more as they fell with 1010 total. Pacific is off to a 1-0 start to their season, while Maplewood is now 1-1.
Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: Patches continues to find ways to impress, striking 552 for Boston to get the game going. Juno got struck down with a deflected hit, producing only 60 for Modernistic in her UPCL debut. Puff II added 384 for the Swifts as they keep their all-offense style going. Ms. Puppy saw a ball just graze the boundary zone, ending her turn at 105 for the Union. Gradley smacked 463 for Boston, keeping them well ahead in the game. Chimpy made Modernistic look smart for keeping him, chipping back with 487 to at least add some intrigue. Sweetheart took only 90 for the Swifts, giving them 1489 total after a weak finish. Puff I batted 304 for the Union, but they still took the loss with 956. Boston is now 3-0, while Modernistic drops to 0-1 in their early-season divisional battle.
AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: Panda cranked out 412 for Southern to get this West Division battle started. Snuggle countered big with 1031 for Oceanside, building a huge lead. Shannon took 198 for the Monarchs, covering only part of the deficit. Bells belted another 806 for the Waves, who appear to have a different attitude than last season. Kirstin chipped 295 for Southern, just trying to hold on at a respectable level at this point. Alyssa took only 128 for Oceanside, but they remain comfortably ahead. Nicole poked 271 for the Monarchs, but they took a brutal loss at 1176 total points. Pounce slapped 202 for the Waves, giving them a winning total of 2167. Oceanside looked very confident in going to 1-0, while Southern looks absolutely deflated to start the season busy at 0-3.
Verizon Field, Pacific: Tigerette took 479 for Commerce, a strong start for the experienced captain. The equally persistent Starlight replied by blasting 730 for Pacific to give them the initial lead. Ice Cream fired back with 546 for the Tradewinds, cementing the game as wide open. Ms. Kitty rocked 631 for the Volcanoes, keeping them in the lead at the halfway point. Lionel swatted 397 for Commerce, covering the deficit but little more in the closest thing to faltering this game has seen. Jack kept Pacific in front with 319, but their lead has shrunk from turn to turn. Lorde scored 337 for the Tradewinds, forcing a response as they closed the game at 1759. Leonette chopped 33 for the Volcanoes, costing them the game as they finished short with 1713 total points. Commerce got away with a win, going to 3-0 in the surprise victory. Pacific falls to 1-1 in a heartbreaking loss in their home opener.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Westside gets their first game with a normal roster in over a year, led by 63 points from their captain, Misty. Watermelon answered with a big 526 to set the tone for Pearl. Goatee got stymied in her turn for the Rockers, finishing with a score of 209. Neopolitan crushed 590 for the Surfers, adding onto their massive lead. Midnight couldn't handle a ball that popped up into the air, ending at 227 for Westside in what's become a trying game for the visitors. Wings crushed another 624 for Pearl, likely securing the game unofficially. Chicky Phil grabbed 200 for the Rockers, giving them a losing final of 699 in a very rough game. Cowzarts kept it simple in the end, adding 272 for the Surfers for a final of 2012 in the big win. Pearl is now 1-1, while Westside gets off to an 0-1 start.
Tridents Park sponsored by Ford, Pronger: The Tridents debut their new color-scheme at home, while also announcing the throwback look they will wear for select regional rivalry games. Patches had her worst road effort yet, scoring 304 for Boston (which is not exactly bad by any standards). Strawberry ended up with 239 as the new lead-off player for the shuffled Pronger lineup, getting mowed down by a tricky sliding ball. A likely fatigued Swifts team saw Puff II only get 54 this time, leaving them vulnerable. Hoot added 240 for the highly egalitarian Tridents, giving them a slight lead. Gradley kept Boston in the mix with 339 in his turn, playing well despite the early workload. Precious had only 204 for Pronger, making the game close going into the last player on each team. Sweetheart hit 296 to give the Swifts 993 total, definitely within reach. Paps knocked 351, sending the Tridents to victory with 1034. Pronger made their new look victorious in the debut, going to 1-0, while Boston slips from the perfect ranks down to 3-1.
Ebay Center, Queens: In a rematch of last year's craziest game, Freedom's Jasmine drilled 364 to begin. The game featured the first road win for Freedom, well into the season, which caused a riot that damaged the Ebay Center, forcing the Flames to play a home game at their rival's building, the Kraft Crowns Park in Royal. Crystal had only 256 for Queens this time around, which likely won't lead to violence since the season is young. Stinky managed only 184 for the Cascades, leaving them in trouble potentially. Kayla wreaked mayhem for the Flames, ripping 511 to put them in the lead, cashing in on the go-ahead opportunity. Roxy couldn't keep the ball level on her backhand, watching it crash into her wicket for a score of just 10 points for Freedom. Max poked 218 for Queens, protecting their lead sufficiently. Nikolai slugged 733 for the Cascades, giving his team a chance as they end at 1291. Paige put her head down and replied with 595 to give the Flames a win with 1580. Queens is now 1-1, while Freedom took an unlucky loss to fall to 0-2.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The second part of the opening week concludes with this match. Smudge of Infinity took 480 to open the scoring in a strong showing. Frosty had a bad miss for Royal, giving them only 171 when she swung way too early. Shelley got caught in the middle of a bat trick for the Torpedoes, ending up with 234 to add to the lead. Jake made the deficit look silly, bombing the Crowns to a lead with a 1294-point output. Gabe, in utter shock, took a meager 20 points for Infinity to exacerbate their problems. Marsell had 247 to extend the Royal lead in a modest fashion. Whiskers put up 144 for the Torpedoes, as they lost with 878, getting disheartened very easily. Nightfur's 225 gave the Crowns 1937 overall in the big season-opening win. Royal is 1-0 after their strong performance, while Infinity falls to a very unlucky 0-2 that could put a damper on their prove-it season.
Part 3 to come by Sunday night.
