UPCL Cricket: Week 15 Part 2

This is the second segment of the week, beginning from...


Mercedes-Benz Field, Harrison: The Waves are a perfect 3-0 on their current road trip, with their fourth stop being in Harrison. Snuggle set the tone with 1072 for Oceanside, establishing a huge lead for the road wonders. Harrison got 240 from Slinks in a weaker opening turn. Bells slapped another 648 for the Waves, who have established a monolithic lead. Twinkie II hit a mediocre 200 for the Specters, leaving them further behind. Alyssa put Oceanside on cruise control with her 82. Sydney cut into the deficit with 328 for Harrison, but they still face a steep climb. Pounce's 21 gave the Waves 1823 overall, which should be enough for a fifth straight road win. Brownie pulled in 251, but the Specters suffered defeat with 1019 total. Oceanside is on six straight wins now, going to 15-13 with the surge, while Harrison falls to 13-18 on the loss.


Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Torpedoes look to avoid a sweep against the Volcanoes, who are as hot as lava on the road right now. Starlight was ruled to have hit three balls, validating her unlucky bounce that gave Pacific a weak start of 16 points. Smudge grabbed 341 to give Infinity the first lead of the game. Ms. Kitty thundered her way to 682 for the Volcanoes, giving them a fighting chance again. Shelley blasted 910 for the Torpedoes, restoring an even bigger lead. Jack stumbled with 136 for Pacific, putting them in a bunch of trouble. Gabe rallied for 572 for Infinity, padding their lead even more. Leonette's 160 was far from enough, and the Volcanoes ended a six-game road winning streak with just 994 in this loss. Whiskers bounced 130 to give the Torpedoes 1953, and more importantly, their first division win. Infinity goes to 9-16, while Pacific falls to 18-10.


Pepsi Prestige Park, Lighton: These two teams meet for the first time this season. Juno swing 295 to begin for Modernistic in a modest way. Acorn flipped 451 to give Lighton the first lead in the game. Ms. Puppy countered with a strong 700 for the Union, restoring a lead for them. Spirit got most of the deficit covered, striking 441 for the Prestige, who trail slightly at the halfway point. Chimpy came up a bit enigmatic, scoring only 106 for Modernistic in a poor showing. Twinkie I did enough in posting 266 to restore a small lead for Lighton as the final players come to bat. Puff I poked 240 to give the Union a final of 1341, forcing a response from the hosts. Lydia popped 445 for the Prestige, sealing their win at 1603 total. Lighton snapped a three-game home losing streak by going to 16-12, six games up on the 10-18 Modernistic, who are quickly falling off the pace.


UPS Ground, Maplewood: Two East Division teams meet for the first time this season, with the return match from the hills in two weeks. Smokey stumbled a bit in hitting only 75 for Diamond to begin the game. Fluffina chipped 202 for Maplewood to give them a minor lead. Citrus fired back with 256 for the Gems in a reasonable effort. Bryant jolted the Lumberjacks to life with his 465 to give them a more stable lead. Pedey ripped 510 to give Diamond at least a temporary lead. Diddley fired back with 495, restoring the lead for Maplewood with a remarkable turn. Cassandra accepted an optional replay after a technical error, but the results failed, with 193 for the Gems to give them a losing total of 1034. Cubby kept it simple, taking 122 to seal a win for the Lumberjacks at 1284, their seventh straight home victory. Maplewood, sheltered as they are, improve to 14-11, while Diamond enters their midseason moment at 14-18 on a sixth straight road loss. For the Gems midseason report, click here.


Google Pitch at Union Ground, Modernistic: These two Central Division behemoths meet for the first time this season. Chris led off with 305 for Capital City, a solid total to begin with. Juno picked up 176 for Modernistic on her turn, putting the hosts behind early on. Missy swatted 401 for the Sharpshooters, adding onto their lead substantially. Ms. Puppy leveled 828 for the Union, pulling them into a lead at the halfway mark of the game. Sprinkles fired back with 416 to keep Capital City in the fight. Chimpy fumbled his way to 148 for Modernistic, making it a close game with a player each to go. Dani had only 192 for the Sharpshooters, putting them at 1314, a far from safe total. Puff I fell with 130 for the Union, watching the game slip away as they had 1282 in the loss. Capital City just barely emerged with the division win, going to 12-14, while Modernistic is 10-19 on a third straight loss.


AT&T Oceanside Stadium, Oceanside: The Sharpshooters look to build off their previous win against a poor home team in the Waves. Chris proved steady again, with 304 for Capital City this time around. Snuggle smacked 476 for Oceanside to give them the early advantage. Missy answered with 305 for the Sharpshooters, as the visitors show a bit of unity in their scoring. Bells let the Waves fall behind when she produced a meager 112. Sprinkles failed to assert the lead for Capital City, posting only 96 on her poor showing. Alyssa's 351 rocketed Oceanside into a late lead, setting up another interesting finish. Dani jammed 283 for the Sharpshooters, getting them to 988, forcing a tiny response from their hosts. Pounce's 113 proved enough for the Waves to claim victory at 1052. Oceanside keeps the good times going, jumping to 16-13 on a seven-game winning streak that makes them the hottest team in the league. Capital City drops to 12-15 with the setback loss.


Verizon Field, Pacific: The action continues along the coast as the Tridents try to knock the Volcanoes around a bit more. Strawberry didn't get the best start, poking 231 to get Pronger on the board. Starlight belted 624 to establish a large lead for Pacific. Hoot shot back with 481 for the Tridents, edging them ahead slightly. Ms. Kitty answered with 590 for the Volcanoes, padding their lead significantly at the halfway mark of the game. Precious unleashed 547 for Pronger, keeping the hosts on their toes as the offense stays frantic. Jack had only 197 for Pacific, allowing the lead to slip a bit late in the game. Paps had 122 on a tomahawk chop swing, spiking a ball out of bounds to leave the Tridents at 1381 in the loss. Leonette used 327 on her turn to get the Volcanoes to get their Trap Queen routine on, ending their victory with 1738. Pacific has every right to party after shaking recent disappointment to get to 19-10, while Pronger slides to 11-17 on a five-game losing streak and a quick turnaround to their next home game.


Honda Driftwood Coliseum, Pearl: Coastal rivals meet again after a Stills victory at home earlier in the year, with a lot on the line here. Easter lifted a bit too much on her turn, ending up at just 48 for Todavía. Watermelon is far from clear of her recent struggles, producing 247 for Pearl in this mediocre appearance. Sierra jumped on her chance, slicing 504 for the Stills to gain a more solid lead. Neopolitan slipped up at 215 for the Surfers, putting them at a deficit at the midway mark of the game. Leonardo kept pace, hitting 245 for Todavía in a serviceable effort. Wings had a measly 66 for Pearl on his turn, making their situation all the more dire as the game enters its late stages. Sparkles cranked out 497 to give the Stills 1294 as their final score. Cowzart's 436 for the Surfers proved too little and too late, giving them only 964 in their loss. Todavía is up to 16-14 with the win, while Pearl drops to third in the league at 21-10 after a four-game winning streak was snapped with the loss to a West Division opponent.


Tridents Park sponsored by Ford, Pronger: Two East Division rivals clash to see who can get a step higher on the ladder. Shadow crushed 671 for Web City to open the game on a positive note. Strawberry got 264 back for Pronger in a middling performance. Rainmane was almost tabbed for a mandatory replay, but the review showed she swung at the ball before the other ball went out of bounds, allowing her score of 640 to stand for the Spiders and extend their lead drastically. Hoot stumbled to a meager 96 for the Tridents as they continue to trail by a large margin. Sugar clobbered 980 for Web City, continuing to help them dominate the game. Precious saw a series of bad bounces end her turn at 28 points for Pronger. Shiny iced the Spiders' likely victory with 314 individually for a grand total of 2605. Paps had only 200 for the Tridents, and they suffered a brutal loss at 588. Web City looks to be trending the right direction, now at 12-15, while Pronger is 1-9 in the division at 11-18 overall on a six-game losing streak.


Ebay Center, Queens: The Flames look to get their season jump-started against a very sheltered Arrows team. Sally levied 544 for Archtown to get the visitors off to a wonderful start. Crystal kept it pretty closer, slapping 467 for Queens on her opening turn. Sleepy B. let the Arrows slip with 63 on her turn. Kayla's 208 sufficed to give the Flames the lead at the midpoint of the game. Ruby floated 124 for Archtown, giving them a very unstable lead. Her brother, Max, scored 348 for Queens, at one point striking five balls at once to clear what had become a cluttered pitch. Dusky's 297 gave the Arrows a final of 1028, which isn't officially a loss but won't take much effort to become one. Paige kept it simple for the Flames, picking up 21 to give them 1044 in the win. Queens is on the road to recovery, now at 7-21, while Archtown is 10-13 on their still very light schedule.


Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The segment ends on a Center Division battle. Tigerette slugged 1005, wasting no time in establishing a massive lead for Commerce. Frosty provided a solid 376 in response for Royal, but they still face quite the challenge. Ice Cream added 193 for the Tradewinds. Jake dented the deficit, hauling in 385 to get the Crowns a bit closer halfway through the game. Lionel hit 256 for Commerce, as the lead slips a little bit more. Marsell lost his pace a bit with 144 for Royal, allowing the deficit to grow again late in the game. Lorde's 122 gave the Tradewinds a solid final of 1576. Nightfur couldn't use her backhand successfully, ending her turn at 147 as she took out her own wicket, and the Crowns suffered a loss with 1052. Commerce's sixth straight road win gets them to 23-11, while Royal is at 9-20 after the defeat.

I do not expect segment three to come out tonight, but it should be out tomorrow evening.
