Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Meteors play a return match after beating the Specters in Viewpoint Sound just last week. Mr. Snowman lifted a confident 503 for Viewpoint Sound to start the game. Slinks slipped with 112 for Harrison, putting them behind early. Mams provided a steady 420 for the Meteors, maintaining their lead effectively. Twinkie II pulled back with 312 for the Specters, but the hosts remain far behind. Zach allowed Viewpoint Sound to downshift, scoring 256 while keeping them in the lead. Sydney cut into the deficit with 560 for Harrison, making the game close with a player each to go. Kelly took a weak 141 to put the Meteors at a final of 1320. Brownie collapsed with 195 for the Specters, giving them only 1179 in the loss. Viewpoint Sound takes a season sweep on the Specters, improving to 7-9 on a three-game winning streak, while Harrison is down to 11-12 with the tough loss.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Defenders get another chance to get on track against the team at the cellar of the standings. Boots bounced 302 for Southridge in an acceptable starting effort. Smudge sent a burst of 883 points for Infinity to give them the initial lead in a critical game for the floundering team. Debby failed to cover the deficit, but she produced a respectable 431 for the Defenders. Shelley floundered with 75 for the Torpedoes, making their lead vulnerable. J. Garcia inched Southridge slightly ahead with her 243. Gabe kept things steady for Infinity, poking 223 to keep it a little bit close heading into the final players. Shaggy took in 290 for the Defenders, and they forced a response by finishing with 1266. Whiskers iced the Torpedoes win with 328 for a final of 1509. Infinity tries once again to spark themselves to success, now at 4-15, while Southridge's woes continue to 6-16 on a four-game losing streak.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The Sharks travel across the south to meet a similarly-talented Prestige side for the first time this season. Graham had a significant dip in production, taking just 112 for Eastside. Acorn battered 619 for Lighton to establish a sizable lead early in the game. Chelsea's timing was a little bit off, and she scored 184 for the now-endangered Sharks. Spirit launched 1289 for the Prestige, likely securing the lead for this game. Taylor answered with 360 as Eastside watches the game get away from them. Twinkie I tapped 192 for Lighton after receiving and using an optional replay. Niki had just 73 for the Sharks, and they lost with 729 in a complete offensive failure. Lydia somewhat successfully navigated weird bounces to score 213 for the Prestige, capping their win at 2313. Lighton jumps to 11-9 while ceasing the four-game road winning streak Eastside had going, moving them to 10-8.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The Defenders are into the northeast on their travels, with their fourth straight road game in a trip that's lacked any sort of success for them. Boots couldn't handle the pressure, taking a meager 122 for Southridge. Fluffina popped a quick 314 to give Maplewood a serviceable lead. Debby unleashed 671 to get the Defenders out of their recent rut, or at least she hopes it will serve that purpose. Bryant blew that notion away with 1075 for the Lumberjacks, restoring a lead for the hosts. J. Garcia managed only 202 for Southridge, exhausted at how they've given up big points all throughout this road trip. Diddley got out of rhythm in taking a pathetic 21 for the in-charge Maplewood side. Shaggy batted 607 for the Defenders, and they ended with 1602, forcing a response. Cubby did enough for the Lumberjacks in tacking on 245, giving the hosts a final score of 1655 in a surprisingly narrow win. Maplewood goes to 8-6, while Southridge just had hope squashed as they fall to 6-17.
Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: The Lumberjacks return to action with a short trip west for their first meeting with the Union, with the next coming two weeks from now. Fluffina staked out 353 for Maplewood, a respectable beginning to the game. Juno replied with 450 for Modernistic, giving them a slight edge. Bryant went for 312 for the Lumberjacks, making a shaky lead again for them. Ms. Puppy sent the Union farther ahead, ripping 510 to add onto the lead. Diddley's poor play traveled with him, as he had a measly 33 for Maplewood this time, likely costing them the game. Chimpy kept the numbers round and high for Modernistic, slicing 420 to pad the lead once more. Cubby's 385 was insufficient for the Lumberjacks, as they lost with 1083 in a hard-fought game. Puff I iced the Union win with 144, giving them a final of 1524. Modernistic improves to 8-10 while dragging Maplewood to 8-7.
AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: The West Division gets a battle between teams hovering unusually close to the middle for their respective reputations. Starlight brought energy for Pacific, swatting 474 in an admirable opener. Snuggle remains relatively consistent for Oceanside, scoring 320 to keep things reasonable. Ms. Kitty pummeled another 470 for the Volcanoes as their lead remains firm and intact. Bells had a bounce back effort personally, but her 345 did not get the Waves any closer. Jack had a tough run when his wicket went onto the pitch, but he still managed 231 for Pacific under the extenuating circumstances. Alyssa suffered regression by hitting just 176 for Oceanside, potentially undoing their efforts. Leonette knocked 575 for the Volcanoes, and they finish at 1750, holding remarkably steady over their last four road games. Pounce also had 176 for the Waves, but they took the loss with 1017. Pacific gets a big win to start their doubleheader, going to 11-8, while Oceanside is 6-9, having lost five straight home games.
Verizon Field, Pacific: The Volcanoes get their second game of a doubleheader against a similarly busy Lumberjacks team. Fluffina had a modest start with only 104 for Maplewood, getting things going slowly. Starlight dealt with a rough start, turning out with 871 for Pacific to give the hosts a significant lead. Bryant got tricked to go for the high ball, and then a quick one came low to end his contributions at 388 for the Lumberjacks. Ms. Kitty didn't recover it all, taking 217 for the Volcanoes as they continue to lead. Diddley shook out another 478 for Maplewood, getting them much closer as the game approaches the late stages. Jack let Pacific's lead slip again, as he managed only 162. Cubby didn't have what it takes for the Lumberjacks, poking 36 to give them the loss with 1006. Leonette tallied 402 to ice the Volcanoes win at 1652, a convincing effort to snap a three-game home losing streak. Pacific's win sees them to 12-8, while Maplewood crosses the quarter mark at 8-8.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Staying on the coast, the Surfers welcome a Specters team garnering mixed results on a busy road schedule. Slinks chipped just 160 for Harrison, a vulnerable starting position. Watermelon pummeled 883 to give Pearl a fairly comfortable first lead. Twinkie II brought heat in response for the Specters, batting 594 in an impressive showing. Neopolitan countered with 608 to build up the Surfers lead ever so slightly as the game hits half-completion. Sydney got tangled on her second ball, but struck another one before sending it into the stumps. This caused her to put up just 16 for Harrison in an embarrassing turn. Wings clobbered 745 for Pearl to pad the lead, which is likely unreachable at this point. Brownie scraped together 168 for the Specters, and they suffered a loss with 938 total. Cowzart played well, hitting an unnecessary 811 to give the Surfers a final of 3047 in the win. Pearl remains a top-tier offense, sitting at 14-4, which has them second in the league, while Harrison drops to 11-13 during a rough stretch for the talented but inconsistent Northeastern squad.
Tridents Park sponsored by Ford, Pronger: The Specters head across the map on a long trip for a doubleheader against a division rival in the Tridents, who have yet to beat an East Division team. A tired Slinks put up only 96 for Harrison in a weak showing. Strawberry answered with 313 for Pronger, giving them a modest lead. Twinkie II showed a little too much zeal, ending up with 64 for the Specters after lifting the last ball far too high. Hoot also took in just 64 for the Tridents, keeping the advantage level at the halfway point. Sydney lent some respectability to Harrison, striking 376 to give them at least a temporary lead. Precious lined 297 to give Pronger a minor lead heading into the final players. Brownie didn't give the Specters a great lead, hitting 193 to put them at 729, but they require a response from their hosts, which could mean anything in this low-scoring game. Paps left no doubt, knocking 594 to give the Tridents 1268 in an imposing win. Pronger's first division win continues their recent surge to 7-10, while Harrison slumps to 11-14 on a four-game losing streak.
Ebay Center, Queens: The Stills haven't won at home since beating the Flames, and they look to keep their hosts reeling as they aim for the season sweep. Easter crushed a big 867 for Todavía to start things off on the right foot for the visitors. Crystal jammed a ball, which ended up costing her as she scored only 162 for Queens. Sierra faced a high threat from an advanced wicket, ending her turn at 90 for the Stills. Kayla had a meager 50 for the offense-averse Flames. Leonardo kept the offense in the doldrums, taking only 64 for Todavía. Max made it a much closer game by tallying 700 for Queens, putting some pressure into the final players' turns. Sparkles had a responsible 552 for the Stills, bringing their total score to 1573. Paige tried to rally back, but her 414 left the Flames short at 1326. Todavía gets going in the right direction again, now standing at 9-11, while Queens is 4-14 on a seven-game losing streak, and a four-game home losing streak.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The previous matchup featured a Southeastern and Southwestern team, and this match features those teams' biggest rivals pitted against each other. Panda sliced 359 in a respectable start for Southern. Frosty gave Royal a very tiny lead, posting 368 in her turn for a tight start to the game. Shannon cranked out 424 in response, giving the Monarchs a similar lead as before. Jake impressed with one fluid motion deflecting a ball to the back 4s and another to the front 4s, but he neglected the incoming ball, ending with 379 for the Crowns, which puts them slightly behind halfway through the game. Kirstin tacked on 384 for Southern in a game where scoring has been remarkable steady. Marsell let that standard slip, producing just 160 for Royal as they face a steeper deficit. Nicole surged to 551 for the Monarchs, giving them a final score of 1718, with a decent chance of taking the win. The Crowns got just 21 from Nightfur, taking the loss with 928 in a quick collapse. Southern helps the coastal Southwest teams complete the double on the inner Southeast teams, improving to 8-16, while Royal steps down to 6-12. As an aside, the Southeastern trio of the Defenders, Crowns, and Flames have losing streaks of five, six and seven games, respectively, at this time, making their Urban Core South one of the coldest regions in the league.
That's all for part 2. Part 3 is likely to hit the blog no later than Thursday.
