The middle section of this week gets going with an unimposing match with...
Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: Two teams below the red line try to gain a little leverage. Bear labored through a mild start, rallying to 1168 for Whitewater in a methodical opener. Slinks swatted 780 in response for Harrison, marking good games for both embattled captains. Twinkie III stumbled with 76 for the Shores, leaving them vulnerable. Twinkie II recovered much of the deficit with her solid 375 for the Specters. Cheddar held them off with 542 for Whitewater, restoring the bulk of the lead. Sydney supplied 404 for Harrison, but they still trail heading into the final players. Wild Thing hit 321 to send the Shores to their final of 2107, which is not truly safe. Brownie's best home effort of the season clocked in at 587, lifting the Specters to the win with 2146 total. Harrison's win snaps a six-game losing streak to get them to 12-16, while Whitewater has now lost six straight, falling to 9-20.
Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Arrows get a soft landing spot as they find their travel groove. Sally unleashed 838 for Archtown, setting a high bar immediately. Smudge bounced 392, only stopping when she narrowly missed the corner on her last hit, which went slightly out of bounds for Infinity. Sleepy B. ended on a bad swing, barely grazing the ball to deflect it into the stumps, giving the Arrows an extra 291 for their offense. Shelley made it a fairly close game with her 766 for the Torpedoes. Ruby clubbed 631 to make a more credible lead for Archtown as the game reaches its later stages. Gabe saw a series of deflections ending at his wicket bring him down with 353 for Infinity, creating a deficit for the hosts. Dusky got shut down on a deflection early on, with just 20 to put the Arrows at a total of 1780. Whiskers submitted 344 for the Torpedoes, getting them to 1855 to topple her former team. Infinity has strung four straight wins at home to get to 8-15 on a five-game overall winning streak. Archtown is back under .500 at 9-10 with the loss.
Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: The West Division gets a turn in the spotlight here. Panda got beat on a swing-and-miss, with his reach-back too slow to stop his turn from going final at 177 for Southern. Acorn had an average showing, putting up 312 for Lighton to give them a modest lead. Shannon rocked 695 for the Monarchs, putting them on more stable ground. Spirit grabbed 472 in response for the Prestige, keeping things relatively close halfway through the game. Kirstin picked up only 82 for Southern on a poor showing. Twinkie I shrunk the gap a bit with a mild 137 for Lighton, setting up a final showdown. Nicole lined 532 to give the Monarchs a final score of 1486, which is a solid total. Lydia failed under the pressure, with her 64 sending the Prestige to a loss with 985. Southern gets a rare win to move to 10-21, while Lighton is down to 14-11 on the division loss, with a 2-4 division record now.
UPS Ground, Maplewood: The struggling Flames head north to meet the sheltered Lumberjacks. Crystal picked up 277 in a modest effort for Queens. Fluffina put Maplewood very narrowly ahead with her 295-point appearance. Kayla snagged 384 for the Flames, giving them a better second effort. Bryant smacked 550 to pull the Lumberjacks to a bigger lead halfway through the game. Max chipped 215 for Queens, barely covering the deficit. Diddley faltered with 193 for Maplewood on his turn, failing to get a solid rhythm that leaves the game up for grabs with a player each to go. Paige scored just 232 for the Flames, forcing a response as they finish with 1108. Cubby drilled 364 to bring the Lumberjacks to a winning core of 1402. Maplewood has won five straight at home, going to 11-9 overall, while Queens drops to 6-19 on a four-game road losing streak.
Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic. The Union look for a sweep after beating the Stills in Todavía in week 3. Easter put up a crisp 376 for Todavía, a reasonable start for the beleaguered team. Juno had 276 for Modernistic, a decent showing that has the hosts a little bit behind. The Stills got only 161 from Sierra, putting them in a vulnerable position. Ms. Puppy chopped 242 for the Union, keeping things close at the halfway point. Leonardo gave Todavía a bit of breathing room again, lining 384 to build up a lead. Chimpy looked ready to break out for Modernistic before falling with 240, putting them in danger late in the game. Sparkles went big with 537 for the Stills, giving them a final of 1458. Puff I almost made the comeback, going for 584 for the Union, but they lost with 1342. Todavía gains the season split by going to 13-13, while Modernistic's sixth straight loss has them at 8-16 on the year.
AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: The Warriors will try to avenge embarrassment by traveling to the coast for a rematch with the Waves. Twilight's slump continued, as she had only 186 for Central in this appearance. Snuggle replied with a huge 807 for Oceanside, giving them a strong lead early in the game. Dustin kept the Warriors in range, slamming 615 for the visitors on his turn. Bells got stuck at 64 for the Waves after a bad swing, typical for their poor home performances. Noelle capitalized with 532 for Central, giving them at least a temporary lead. Alyssa fired back with 560 for Oceanside, making it close as the game hurtles to the finish. Gizmo handled a messy pitch well, pulling in 456 to bring the Warriors to a total of 1789. Pounce threw away another game for the Waves, with his 115 leaving them short at 1546. Central gets a much needed win to end their four-game losing streak, improving to 17-12, while Oceanside is 9-13 after the loss.
Verizon Field, Pacific: West Division heavyweights face off in this critical match. Princess began with 590 for Tysini, setting a strong tone early on. Starlight took 407 for Pacific, as they will trail slightly to begin with. Leandra tacked on 568 to keep the Hummingbirds in control of the game. Ms. Kitty shot back with 517 for the Volcanoes, helping them to hold on in the high-scoring game. Charli faltered with 216 for Tysini, leaving their lead a bit exposed at this stage of the game. Jack dented the deficit significantly, hauling in 359 to get Pacific much closer with a player each to go. Bright botched his turn, scoring 48 to leave the Hummingbirds at 1422 after taking out his own wicket. Leonette posted 248 to give the Volcanoes 1531 in the win. Pacific has taken four straight wins at home, going to 18-8 while riding an eight-game winning streak, while Tysini drops to 17-10 after squandering the chance to pass a division rival.
Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: The Sharpshooters look to complete a sweep after beating the Surfers back home last week. Chris got duped by a rolling ball, but only after collecting 481 to base Capital City's offense on. Watermelon continues to slump, scoring a meager 69 for Pearl this time out. Missy took only 82 for the Sharpshooters, deriding the poor pitch conditions as a major reason. Neopolitan hit 249 in response for the Surfers as the offense has dried up a bit. Sprinkles had just 99 for Capital City, and the players are displaying a serious amount of unrest over the conditions. Wings had an outburst after ending with only 24 for Pearl, causing more tension. Dani's 272 got the Sharpshooters to 934, which may suffice in the climate of this match. Cowzart's 96 put the Surfers at 48 in the loss. There is a chance of Wings receiving supplemental discipline for his outburst. Capital City moves to 10-11 while Pearl is 16-8 after suffering a sweep from the Sharpshooters.
Tridents Park sponsored by Ford, Pronger: The Surfers make the jaunt across the map for the second game in a doubleheader. Watermelon led off with a respectable 287 for Pearl, giving them a safe base. Strawberry made it very close at the start, raking in 285 for Pronger to put the teams in a dead heat. Neopolitan rallied for 560 for the Surfers, creating a larger advantage. Hoot couldn't keep up, scoring 298 for the Tridents as they slip behind at the halfway point. Wings hauled in 472 for Pearl, extending their lead well. Precious took 208 for Pronger, as the fall behind a bit more with a player each to go. Cowzart poked 258 to leave the Surfers at 1577 total. Paps had two replays for various reasons, but his third turn went just as poorly, with his 64 ending the Tridents' hopes at 855. Pearl gets off a recent road skid to go to 17-8, while Pronger is down to 11-14, ending a five-game home winning streak.
Ebay Center, Queens: The worst team in the league hosts a team with an occasionally potent offense. Acorn sliced 414 for Lighton to open the scoring in good form. Crystal kept Queens in range, pounding 408 in a confident response. Spirit crushed 869 to extend the Prestige lead significantly in a wonderful effort. Kayla only went for 178 for the Flames, putting them at a steep deficit halfway through the game. Twinkie I ripped another 512 for Lighton, putting their lead at a safe level for this game. Max tallied a solid 280 for Queens, but they continue to flounder well behind the visitors in this game. Lydia dropped another 824 to give the Prestige a likely victorious final score of 2619. Paige, the one-time Prestige player, put up 352 against her former team, giving the Flames a losing total of 1218. Lighton continues to play well in going to 15-11, while Queens is 6-20 on the year.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Surfers stay busy with this meeting in the urban southeast area. Watermelon couldn't get the bat back quickly enough, producing just 176 for Pearl in a poor start to the game. Frosty got out of her rut with 445 for Royal, giving them a noticeable advantage early on. Neopolitan fired off 675 for the Surfers to make a battle out of the game. Jake kept the Crowns in range, taking 319 to mitigate the damage. Wings churned out 612 in a sloppy appearance that ended up working out with good staying power for Pearl. Marsell did not let Royal fade away, smacking 890 to make it interesting late in the game. Cowzart misplayed on his turn, taking only 69, which sent the Surfers to a loss with 1532. Nightfur kept it quick with 80 for the Crowns, sending the home fans into a frenzy with their first win in twelve games. Royal goes to 7-17 with the pressure-releasing win, a huge upset over the now 17-9 Pearl squad.
