Sierra pounded another 1235 for the Stills, keeping their collective foot on the gas in this game. Sleepy B. got 739 of it back for the Arrows as the game takes on a full-offense theme.

McDonald's Pitch at Pirates Park, Atlantic: The Pirates return to action after a historically great week 10, taking on another struggling Southeastern team. Frosty kept that statement true, taking a pathetic 36 for Royal. Delila didn't set any records this time, but her 224 gave Atlantic a modest lead. Jake tapped 263 for the Crowns, giving them a slight edge for a little while. Amber made a bigger impact for the Pirates, posting 537 to give them a stronger lead halfway through the game. Marsell chipped back with 304 for Royal, but they still face a deficit. Americus slammed another 688 for Atlantic, extending their lead confidently.

Dominic capped the Pirates win with 514 individually to give them 1963 total. Atlantic won again with serious bravado, moving up to 13-10, while Royal's cold snap continues to 6-13 as the losing streak hits seven games.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: After spoiling the Gems' home opener, the Swifts look to take the season series in a sweep ten weeks later on their on turf. Smokey rocketed to 655 for Diamond to lead off the game, putting up a large obstacle for the hosts to face. Patches methodically rallied back with 704 to give Boston the lead, going at a much slower pace to disrupt the visitors' rhythm. Citrus faltered with 157 for the Gems, leaving the vulnerable at this juncture. Puff II saw the chance and ran with it for the Swifts, slicing 560 to give them a noticeable lead. Pedey didn't let his game waver, grabbing 506 for Diamond to keep them alive. Gradley got a bit stuck, pulling in 155 for Boston as the game tightens late. Cassandra stumbled with 192 for the Gems, giving them 1510 total, which is definitely far from safe. Sweetheart went too cautious for the Swifts, making a single mistake to take a measly 72 points and leave them in a loss with 1491. Diamond lucked out with the win to split the season series, but they are up to 10-10 on a three-game win streak, while Boston slides to 16-9 with the unfortunate loss.
Capital City SuperCenter: Two Center Division teams get to see how they compare in what should be a close game. Tigerette maintained her recent form, slapping 631 for Commerce to start the game strong. Chris faltered with 193 for Capital City, putting them in a difficult starting position. Ice Cream cranked out another 829 for the Tradewinds, supplementing the lead successfully. Missy answered with 353 as the Sharpshooters continue to trail.

Nestle's Warriors Park, Central: The Tradewinds now play in their second of three straight games, with fatigue a very real possibility given their already-hectic schedule, while the Warriors look to complete a sweep. Tigerette posted a respectable 320 for Commerce, saving a bit of energy for their next game. Twilight kept it close with a somewhat low 304 for Central, at least by her near-MVP standards. Ice Cream answered with 445 to add onto the Tradewinds lead, a helpful contribution. Dustin had only 324 in response, leaving the Warriors a little farther behind now. Lionel unleashed another 607 to extend the Commerce lead, giving them a significant advantage later in the game. Noelle tried to play big but ended up reckless, taking just 72 as Central faces a steep disadvantage. Lorde's 336 brought the Tradewinds to 1708 overall, which is expected to be enough to win.

Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds complete the triple-header, starting the game as the #4 team in the league trying to stave off a sweep attempt from the #5 in the league Hummingbirds. Princess clobbered 798 for Tysini in a wonderful start. Tigerette kept her scoring strong with 476 for Commerce, keeping them within range. Leandra scooped 304 for the Hummingbirds, allowing the lead to potentially slip. Ice Cream covered some of the deficit, batting 560 for the Tradewinds in a decent showing. Charli left Tysini extremely vulnerable by taking only 128. Lionel's 281 gave Commerce a minor lead heading into the final players, as the game takes an interesting turn. Bright stepped up with a massive 953 to give the Hummingbirds a final of 2183, a very strong finishing point. Lorde put in a remarkable comeback turn, but her 607 left the Tradewinds short at 1924. Tysini gets the season sweep against a competitive but exhausted opponent, taking over in fourth league-wide at 14-7, while Commerce's four-game winning streak ends as they fall to 17-9.
The Intel Pitch, Diamond: The yellowest teams in the league tangle again, with the Spurs seeking the season sweep after a home victory earlier in the year. Spice had her worst showing on the road all year, taking just 75 as Victoria starts off bad. Smokey continued to play well, drilling 643 to give Diamond a substantial first lead. B. Chapman's misplay added a meager 64 to the Spurs' total, as it appears this is just not their day. Citrus swatted another 703 for the Gems, padding their lead a little more. Yekaterina rampaged Victoria back into the game, scoring 733 on her comeback effort. Pedey threw out a stiff arm of sorts, with his 392 serving the purpose of preserving the lead for Diamond. Kavan posted 257 for the Spurs, which left them short at 1129 in a loss. Cassandra's 232 put them Gems at 1970 in the win. Diamond gets the season split in commanding form, heading into positive territory at 11-10, while Victoria suffers a setback to 7-15.

Graham had another middling home effort, corralling only 209 for Eastside in this appearance. Sierra brought the noise for the Stills, smacking 668 to give them a lead. Chelsea replied with 289 for the Sharks, and they fall slightly behind at the halfway point. Leonardo stumbled with 36 for Todavía, leaving them vulnerable with a slight lead currently. Taylor got some of it back, but her 112 for Eastside did not cover the whole deficit, and they trail with a player each to go. Sparkles tripped out of the gate, but stayed smart to get to 424 for the Stills, giving them a total of 1167. Niki came through with 728 for the Sharks, giving them a winning total of 1338. Eastside's impressive comeback gets them to 11-8, while cooling Todavía to 11-12.
Chevrolet Field, Everton: After an entertaining slugfest a few weeks ago, the Knights look to avenge a loss and prevent the Eagles from sweeping the season series. Kiwi churned out 862 for Terrace City, setting up another potentially entertaining game. Goldy didn't approach that mark, hauling in 296 for Everton. The Knights continue to prove vengeful, as Jennifer strikes 642 to extend the lead to a large margin. Puff III slugged 1284 for the Eagles, giving them a slight lead halfway through the game, bringing the crowd to its feet. Oreo clubbed 272 for Terrace City, letting the visitors lose grip over the game. Cleo choked away the advantage for Everton, scoring a meager 81. Stripes aggressively collected 587 for the Knights, giving them 2363 for their final. Blizzard lined 712 for the Eagles, stealing the game by a thread as they ended with 2373 in a ten-point win. Everton just barely retains a perfect home record, now at 11-0 at home and 19-2 overall, while Terrace City slides to 12-10 on their four-game losing streak. These two teams have produced two of the most competitive games of the season so far.
Toyota Pitch, Freedom: Two good East Division teams meet for the first time this season to draw some battle lines. Twilight had an average 264 for Central, a modest start. Jasmine answered with 567 for Freedom, giving them the initial lead in a calmer game than the last one. Dustin flipped 703 for the Warriors, pulling them back into competitive form. Stinky maintained a lead for the Cascades with 479, but their lead is much more narrow than before. Noelle raked in just 96 for Central, squandering a chance to make a statement. Roxy didn't take advantage of her opportunity, tacking 176 onto the Freedom lead, which leaves things close late in the game. Gizmo forced a response, striking 471 to put the Warriors at a total of 1534. Nikolai had a messy turn, taking just 117 as the Cascades fell with 1339. Central escapes with a win over a division rival, improving to 15-8, while Freedom drops to 12-11, although their divisional record remains a strong 5-2.
Amazon Field, Golden: The 100th division game of the season is this one, as the Crowns look to snap out of their recent struggles. Frosty failed with 64 for Royal, likely setting them on the path of another rough game. Valencia kept her consistency high, poking 481 to give Golden the first lead. Jake grabbed 200 for the Crowns, failing to cover the deficit. Dusty broke out of a personal slump by pummeling 1206 for the Pilots, likely securing the win halfway through the game. Marsell scored 265 for Royal, who are playing out the string in this one. Strut shrugged off 522 for Golden, keeping their lead out of reach of the visitors. Nightfur had a pathetic 60 to end the Crowns' game at 589, a brutal loss. A. Charlton iced the Pilots win with 631 herself for a total of 2840 in a huge victory. Golden takes the division win to go to 14-8, while Royal's woes send them to 6-14 on an eight-game losing streak.
That's it for part one this week. We'll see where the next two sections end up.
