The Boston Swifts liked what they saw last season, and made no changes to their high-offense lineup from last season. The results, likewise, have stayed very much the same as they were last season. The Swifts occupy 6th place in the league on a 21-11 record at the midpoint of their season. At home, the Swifts are a paltry 6-8, but they make up for this with a massive 15-3 road record currently supported by a twelve-game winning streak on the road. Playing in the Center Division, the Swifts have taken care of their business very effectively, owning a 10-4 record against the division, soft as it may be at times.
The Swifts make their money off of being high-scoring, and this season, that means they average nearly 1505 points per game as a team. The offense begins with the longtime captain, Patches, who scores 451 per game at about a 1.8 consistency measure, a remarkable level for such a high average. Patches accounts for 30% of the team's offense, doing more than her fair share for the benefit of the team. Behind her is her fellow Club Reality partner, Puff II, who is at nearly 414 points per game, but with only 1.2 in consistency, atoning to her more wild nature. Puff II clocks in with 27.5% of the offense, making her and Patches a useful 1-2 punch. Gradley, the youth of the team, is next, and he contributes 360 per game, good for 24% of the offense and at a consistency of nearly 2.0, an unheard of level of reliability. The back of the lineup is Sweetheart, who is in the midst of a down year for cricket. She is scoring 279 points per game at a 1.5 consistency, which is not so great when producing just 18.5% of the team offense. Still, the Swifts have no reason to worry. Being ten games over .500 and a strong road team will likely carry them into the playoffs easily, and a deep run is definitely possible.
