We close out the ninth week of the season with a variety of games, starting with a return match of...

Taylor drilled another 686 to add to the Eastside lead, likely securing the game for them. Kirstin botched one ball twice, failing to hit it going forward and then getting too much of it on her backhand, ending her turn with 280 for Southern. Niki's 224 made it a final of 2587 for the Sharks in what they expect will become a win. Nicole managed 418 for the Monarchs, as they lost their fifth straight at home with 1118. Eastside continues their rebound to 8-7, while Southern drops to 7-16 in a busy and unsuccessful stretch of the season.

Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: Division games continue to elude us as better than average teams meet on the outskirts of the Southwest. Jasmine couldn't flick the ball high enough on her backhand, suffering a quick exit at 57 points for Freedom. Snowball ripped 627 to give Swordpoint a sufficient early lead. Stinky suffered a similar fate like his captain, deflecting a ball out of bounds for 105 points to contribute for the Cascades. Dreamy faltered with 93 for the Blades, leaving the door somewhat ajar for the visitors. Roxy sliced 378 for Freedom, closing some of the gap with a solid effort. Shawn had just 177 for Swordpoint, allowing their lead to slip again as the final players step up to bat. Nikolai had only 25 for the Cascades, and they suffered a loss with 565 as their offense has left them. Stealth capped the Blades with 544 individually for a total of 1441. Swordpoint continues to ride in second place, now at 15-4, while Freedom takes another setback to 11-10.
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Stills will head home for a doubleheader after this first-ever meeting with the Knights. Easter looked confident for Todavía, but ended with 312 in an average showing. Kiwi suffered a bad bounce that brought her down at 28 for Terrace City, putting them behind. Sierra's unnecessary attempt at a backhand went as poorly as expected, and she had a pathetic 5 points for the Stills, making this a sloppy start to the game. Jennifer had a cluttered pitch for most of her turn, but she handled it well, slapping 569 to put the Knights ahead halfway through the game. Leonardo got Todavía back on track with 463, giving them at least a temporary lead. Terrace City didn't do all that well in recovering, as Oreo had 141, making it a close game as we near the finish. Sparkles gave the Stills a decent chance, with her 499 giving them a final of 1279. Stripes popped 249 for the Knights, and they lost for the fourth straight home game, with a score of 987. Todavía snapped a six-game losing streak to get to 8-10, while Terrace City's recent misery put them at 12-7.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills get their second game at home, against a team in a similar position to their own. Slinks had some troubles with the pace of the game, but scored 455 for Harrison in a decent showing. Easter got 319 back for Todavía, keeping them within range with her average effort. Twinkie II slapped a quick 601 for the Specters to add onto their lead. Sierra made it a very close game, striking 748 for the Stills in a good bounce-back appearance.

Sparkles had just 247 for the Stills, allowing them to lose with 1396. Harrison gets going in the right direction to 11-10, poking their head above water again, while Todavía is pushed back to 8-11.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: A potential bloodbath is set for these two bitter Southwestern rivals, as a Division game finally graces our schedule. Smudge batted 267 in a middling effort for Infinity. Princess belted 1128 for Tysini in response in a wonderful outing for the captain. Shelley recovered about half of Princess' work, tallying 582 for the Torpedoes to remain somewhat competitive. Leandra took just 99 for the Hummingbirds, allowing the lead to slip a bit. Gabe made it interesting with 432 for Infinity, putting them right next to the hosts. Charli cranked out 609 to restore a lead for Tysini. Whiskers put in a good effort, but her 308 for the Torpedoes sealed their loss at 1589. Bright got it all back anyway, with his 311 ending the Hummingbirds' victory at 2147. Tysini remains a powerful force at the head of the second tier, going to 12-6 while Infinity plummets to 3-15, also 0-5 in the West Division.

Dustin had a poor showing, taking only 117 after leaving his bat too low to swing. The Spurs didn't get a great turn out of B. Chapman, whose ill-advised swing ended her turn at 149. Noelle fired back with 688 for Central, cementing their lead pretty well. Yekaterina had some bad luck for Victoria, taking just 36 due to a bad bounce that brought her turn to its end.

Central succeeded on their traveling mission, improving to 12-7, while Victoria falls to 7-13 with this setback.
Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Specters continue their Coastal trip, visiting the other purple team up north. Slinks had a messy start and quick finish, producing a measly 17 for Harrison to begin with. Mr. Snowman played well to score 385 for Viewpoint Sound, but he also caused his own demise by directing a ball out of bounds inexplicably. Twinkie II fell out of rhythm for the Specters, scoring just 36 as the visitors appear doomed already in this game. Mams supplied 328 to keep the Meteors strong. Sydney rallied for 582 to get Harrison back into the fight after a nightmarish start. Zach put up 200 for Viewpoint Sound, a shaky affirmation for the tenuous lead. Brownie went big, but ended early, with her 220 sealing the Specters loss at 855. Kelly hauled in 353 to put the Meteors at 1266 in their win. Viewpoint Sound went to 6-9, while Harrison can't seem to shake averageness, returning to 11-11 on the even record.
Home Depot Forum, Web City: The Spiders have improved form recently, but face a big test in the Blades. Snowball did not start well for Swordpoint, taking just 54 on a weak showing. Shadow had a steady appearance, as the composed Web City captain carved out 529 to give the hosts a decent lead. Dreamy's road hot streak ended when she released too soon on a swing, ending with 136 for the Blades in response to her brother. Rainmane smacked 873 for the Spiders, solidifying their lead. Shawn couldn't muster a response, taking a weak 128 for Swordpoint as the game gets away from them. Sugar grabbed 379 to keep Web City stable with their significant lead. Stealth cobbled 441 for the Blades, but his comeback effort fell well short as they lost with 759. Shiny's 343 gave the Spiders a massive win with 2124. Web City continues to recover from a dreadful start, jumping to 6-9 on a four-game winning streak, while Swordpoint suffers the upset to drop to 15-5, now third in the league.
BMW RockDome, Westside: The suburban team gets to bring in their urban rivals in a Center Division battle. Juno gave Modernistic a solid opening attack with 407. Misty edged Westside narrowly in front, tallying 466 to give them the initial lead. Ms. Puppy didn't have the best response, taking 250 for the Union to give them a modest lead. Goatee drilled 484 for the Rockers, restoring a better lead for the hosts at the halfway mark. Chimpy let the deficit remain as he wrangled in just 160 for Modernistic, hurting their chances dramatically.

Chicky Phil tallied 456 for the Rockers, giving them a final of 1803 in the win. Westside showed a unified front to jump to 5-10, while Modernistic looked fractured in losing and dropping to 7-10.
Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Warriors look for a sweep after an early-season win over the Shores at home in this battle of last year's two major trophy winners. Twilight plastered 383 for Central in a reasonable opening attack for a former MVP candidate. Bear's inconsistency struck again as he took only 240 for Whitewater, starting them behind in this game. Dustin slugged 695 to pad the Warriors lead subtly. Twinkie III shot back, swinging 495 to keep the Shores from complete meltdown. Noelle erased most of that, getting 467 for Central to maintain their lofty lead. Cheddar's 384 caused Whitewater to fall slightly farther behind for a third straight set of turns. Gizmo may have left the Warriors vulnerable, taking only 141 to put them at 1686 overall. Wild Thing tried to step up, but his 317 meant the Shores lost with 1436. Central gets the season sweep to continue their early season run of success, putting them at 13-7, while Whitewater is down to 8-13.
As usual, the standings page will soon be updated. See you soon for Week 10.
