Starbucks Cup, Archtown: The first game of the week is a divisional match. Graham took 259 for Eastside in his opening turn. Sally countered with 213 for Archtown, keeping the game close at the start. Chelsea's misplay early in her turn meant that she scored just 49 for the Sharks, putting them in trouble. Sleepy B. answered with 290 for the Arrows, pulling them into a slight lead. Taylor shot back with 308 for Eastside. Ruby allowed Archtown to slip a bit, with her 177 contributing to their shrinking lead late in the game. Niki hit 200 to give the Sharks a final of 816, a total that doesn't hold a lot of confidence. Dusky did more than enough in hitting 319 for the Arrows, giving them a winning total of 999. Archtown gets a big divisional win in a tough showing, going to 2-1, while dropping Eastside to 1-1.
McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: Easter pounded 775 points out very quickly to give Todavía a large lead at the start. Delila answered with 376 for Atlantic in an equally strong but shorter run of play. Sierra fired back with 232 for the Stills, a poor effort. Amber fired back with 272 for the Pirates, chipping away at the deficit. Leonardo messed up in grand fashion, hitting a measly 42 for Todavía, leaving them a bit vulnerable at this point in the game. Americus failed to capitalize, taking just 102 for Atlantic in a rough appearance. Sparkles didn't quite pull the Stills out of reach, but her solid 290 gave them 1339 overall, a good final score. Dominic put up 274 for the Pirates, as they took the loss with 1024 total. Todavía ended Atlantic's perfect start, improving themselves to 2-1 while bumping Atlantic to 3-1.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The Pirates head right onto the road to get action in a doubleheader. Delila pummeled 896 for Atlantic in a big start for the visitors. Patches has completely fallen apart for Boston, taking just 64 points back in this game. Amber supplemented the Pirates with 288 in this game, fresh off her Eastern Hills regional Player of the Week honor. Puff II struggled again at home with only 192 for the Swifts. Americus lined 321 for Atlantic, extending their lead again. Gradley knocked 415 in an attempt to keep Boston at least theoretically in the game. Dominic swung 429 for the Pirates, producing a final score of 1934 in their likely victory. Sweetheart brought the comeback to an abrupt end, scoring a pathetic 12 to leave the Swifts in shock with a loss at 683. Atlantic bounced back from their rough home match to get the win and go to 4-1, while Boston holds an even 3-3 record and needs a break more than anything else.
Capital City SuperCenter: You could say the visitors brought a knife to a gun fight in this odd geographic rivalry that actually features teams in different divisions. Snowball ground out 636 for Swordpoint, emerging big after weathering a rough start. Chris got robbed by the corner, achieving only 36 for Capital City. Dreamy couldn't manage an odd bounce, taking just 44 for the Blades. Missy handled the defense of the wicket well until she tried to scoop up all the balls she collected, with one taking a bounce to end her turn at 174 for the Sharpshooters. Shawn used a cheeky flip to the back 6s to secure the Swordpoint lead, scoring 885 in a massive performance to leave his mark on this rivalry. Sprinkles replied with a well-meaning 408 for Capital City that did little to shrink their deficit. Stealth accidentally ended his turn at 461 with a deflection straight into the stumps, but the Blades ended with 2026 in a big finish. Dani came nowhere near the mark, hitting a weak 48 to give the Sharpshooters a bedeviled 666 final score. Swordpoint is now 2-0 on the season with the huge rivalry win, while Capital City falls to 0-2.
Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The Blades get a doubleheader, traveling to the northeast with the hopes of continuing their hot start. Swordpoint started with another significant lead thanks to 535 from their captain, Snowball. Twilight took 295 back for Central in a reasonable effort. Dreamy scooped another 240 for the Blades. Dustin launched 648 to give the Warriors a slight lead halfway through the game. Shawn countered with 382 for Swordpoint, again using impressive bat control to avoid disaster. Noelle held steady at 314 for Central, watching their lead shrink a bit heading into the anchoring players. Stealth tripped up at 49 for the Blades, giving them a losing total of 1206. Gizmo tapped 98 to give the Warriors 1355 in the win. Central gets into the win column at 1-2, while Swordpoint takes a step back in trying circumstances to go to 2-1.
Nike Field, Commerce: These two teams meet for the first time since making history with the first tie in league history in Diamond during week 10.

Citrus slapped 438 more for the Gems, extending their lead well. Ice Cream blasted 714 to get the Tradewinds much closer in the game.

The Intel Pitch, Diamond: That home match, on a back-to-back, comes against the one team that has given the Gems fits since the end of the first season. Bear got shut down at 208 for Whitewater, as the reigning MVP struggles in his second game. Smokey cranked out 471 for Diamond, giving them a decent lead early on. Twinkie III faltered with 80 points for the Shores, putting them in a state of distress. Citrus added 482 to the lead for the Gems, building it up to a substantial margin. Cheddar grabbed 364 for Whitewater, attempting to cut into the deficit. Pedey had another rough showing at home, hitting 80 to leave Diamond a tad vulnerable late in the game. Wild Thing couldn't cover the gap, hitting 155 as the Shores lost with 807 to their most natural rival. Cassandra, the 2014 MVP winner, had a record in belting 579 for the Gems to seal their win at 1612. Cassandra hit fourteen straight balls to the 6-point zone to start her game, the longest such streak since Delila rallied for twelve straight 6-point shots last season. Diamond is up to 1-3 now, while Whitewater slides to 1-1.
HP Field, Eastside: Jasmine slowly and steadily worked her way to 380 for Freedom, playing against her original team.

Chelsea took back 320 for the Sharks, chipping away at the newly-large deficit. Roxy tacked on 233 for Freedom as they appear to be coasting to the finish.

Hoot broke free with 350 for the Tridents, giving them a better look. Puff III clobbered 500 for the Eagles, pulling them into the lead. Precious answered with 312 for Pronger, keeping the game at a manageable score. Cleo fired back with 519 for Everton, lifting them into a stronger lead late in the game. Paps took 199 for the Tridents, but this wasn't enough, as they fell with 973. Blizzard launched an extra 431 to give the Eagles 1550 total in their win. Everton is up to 2-0 overall and in the division with the big win, while Pronger slides to 1-1 with the divisional loss.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: Juno got a piece of one ball, but it slid behind her bat as she set up her next swing, giving her only 40 points for Modernistic. Jasmine fared better with the stick tricks, achieving two of them before succumbing to the high-pressure of her turn at 457, giving Freedom a large lead. Ms. Puppy's mishit added a measly 30 points to the Union's score. Stinky knocked another 438 for the Cascades, building their lead up again. Chimpy took 224 for Modernistic, saving a little face for them. Roxy kept pace with 273 for Freedom, maintaining the lead effectively. Puff I smacked 570 for the Union, but the damage had already been done as they lost with 864 total. Nikolai nearly did all of that himself, tacking on 828 to ice the Cascades win at 1996. Freedom is in positive territory at 3-2, while Modernistic continues their rough start to 0-2.
Amazon Field, Golden: The final game of this portion of the week kicks off with two scuffling teams. Smudge grabbed 416 to lead off for Infinity.
