UPCL Cricket: Week 15 Part 3

Here's the last segment of a belated Week 15. I expect things to go much quicker for Week 16, but you never know with my schedule. With that, let's kick off in...


Microsoft Pitch at Del Sur: Jasmine tallied 408 to open the scoring for Freedom in the first meeting between these two teams this season. Panda answered with 463 for Southern, giving them a slight edge early on. Stinky stumbled with a measly 57 for the Cascades. Shannon butchered her turn, watching a ball slip off her backhand and take out the wicket to give the Monarchs a pathetic 7 points. Roxy lined 637 to pull Freedom well into the lead. Kirstin got most of it back with 567 for Southern, keeping things close as the final players step up to bat. Nikolai slashed 324 to give the Cascades a total of 1426, which is going to make it a close finish. Nicole fell short at 164 for the Monarchs, and they dropped the game at 1201. Freedom escapes with an exciting win to go to 17-14, while Southern is 10-25 on a four-game losing streak.


GE Stadium, Southridge: The Torpedoes seek a sweep after beating the Defenders at home earlier in the year. Smudge pounded 586 to set the tone for Infinity very early in the game. Boots answered with 439 for Southridge, keeping them in range. Shelley fired back with 425 for the Torpedoes, keeping them in charge. Debby took 286 for the Defenders, but they've fallen farther behind halfway through the game. Gabe pulled in 361 for Infinity, maintaining their lead successfully. J. Garcia rallied for 487 for Southridge, getting them a bit closer in time for the final pushes of the game. Whiskers had a measly 39 for the Torpedoes, leaving them vulnerable at a final of 1411. Shaggy faltered at 133 for the Defenders, and they lost with 1345. The season sweep brings Infinity up to 10-16, while Southridge collapses to 11-20 at the end of their four-game home winning streak.


Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: A battle of powerful forces is set to go down, as the Blades lay their perfect West Division mark (8-0) on the line against the road-tested Waves. Snuggle belted 915 to get Oceanside off to a remarkable start. Snowball did well in hitting 682 to keep Swordpoint in the game, which appears to be going full-offense. Bells launched another 736 for the Waves, protecting their lead well. Dreamy dropped off at 385 for the Blades, and they are now trailing by a wide margin. Alyssa absolutely demolished 920 for Oceanside on her turn, extending their lead into the stratosphere. Her boyfriend, Shawn, got caught watching a ball flip into the back 4s off of a deflection, and he didn't react in time to avoid falling with 147 for Swordpoint on the next offering that breezed by his bat. Pounce capped the Waves' efforts with 456 from himself for a likely winning total of 3027. Stealth melted at 39 for the Blades, and they got humiliated at 1253 overall. Oceanside's strength proves stronger here, as the hottest team in the league is now on an eight-game run to 17-13, trailing the now 20-10 Swordpoint by just three games, as the latter loses their first division game of the season.


Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: A confident Torpedoes team is headed north to face an inconsistent Knights side. Smudge shrugged off 208 for Infinity, a weak start. Kiwi couldn't handle a backhand and a fast-roller at the same time, ending up with 153 for Terrace City in a slow start. Shelley got a little too much air under her last ball, snuffing out her offense at 194 for the Torpedoes. Jennifer slammed back with 385 for the Knights, giving them the lead. Gabe pummeled 1151 for Infinity, flipping the game on its head with the huge effort. Oreo slipped at 199 for Terrace City, as the game appears to be out of their hands now. Whiskers had a meager 96 to give the Torpedoes a final of 1649 in what should be a win. Stripes went too big with her swings, ending at 208 to give the Knights the loss with 945. Infinity is cruising now, up to 11-16 on the year, while Terrace City falls to 19-14 with the loss.


Apple Park, Todavía: Both teams are doing well right now, but something will have to give when they meet. Shadow had a bad hit at a bad time, ending his turn early at 21 for Web City. Easter hammered 570 for Todavía, giving them a big advantage early in the game. Rainmane dented the deficit with 451 for the Spiders on her good turn. Sierra got away with one odd bounce, clipping a ball on her backhand to drop it in front of her, but the next deflection brought her down at 512 for the Stills, a very strong showing. Sugar rallied for 400 for Web City, attempting to shrink their deficit. Leonardo blasted 668 for Todavía, padding their lead nicely. Shiny's 152 meant the Spiders would take a loss at 1024 total. Her sister, Sparkles, had 529 to ice the Stills' final at 2279 in a massive, full-team victory. Todavía has something to build off of as they reach 17-14, while Web City slips to 12-16 on the loss.


Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: Highly ranked teams battle for the first time in their respective histories. Kiwi slipped with a weak 122 for Terrace City, getting them off to a poor start. After a couple of false starts, Tysini's Princess dialed up 888, toll-free, to give the hosts a massive lead with her herculean effort. Jennifer didn't get a whole lot back on her 317 for the Knights. Leandra didn't do quite as well, putting up 208 for the Hummingbirds. Oreo unleashed 679 for Terrace City, capitalizing on the opportunity to eliminate the deficit. Charli's 168 restored a lead for Tysini, but a much smaller one as the final players step up to bat. Stripes struck 420 to get the Knights to 1538, forcing a response from the hosts. Bright lost it with 88 for the Hummingbirds, sending them to defeat with 1352. Terrace City is up to 20-14, while Tysini has fallen to 21-13, just a game ahead of their most recent opponents.


Sprint Pitch, Victoria: This match brings us a heated battle in the Southwest Derby, especially as the Spurs try to cool off a hot Torpedoes team in their first meeting of the season. Smudge flicked 136 for Infinity in a poor opener. Spice got a bit too aggressive, posting 211 after lifting the last ball for Victoria's initial lead. Shelley hit 272 for the Torpedoes in an unremarkable effort. The Spurs fell behind when B. Chapman had a measly 69 points on her turn. Gabe had just 223 for Infinity, maintaining their lead but making it far less than bulletproof. Yekaterina charged back with 359 for Victoria on her turn, setting up an interesting ending. Whiskers slapped 373 to give the Torpedoes a final of 1004, a slightly vulnerable mark. Kavan had a ball come back at him and go out of bounds, ending his turn at a paltry 42, as the Spurs lose the game with 681 total. Infinity surges to 12-16 with the win, their fourth straight, while Victoria is down to 10-19 after the loss to their bitter rivals.


Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The Meteors can sweep the season series here, but the Crowns are not the same team as when they lost in the midst of their bad slump earlier in the year. Frosty's backswing failed her, giving Royal just 231 when she was a second late. Mr. Snowman slumped with 80 for Viewpoint Sound, putting them behind already. Jake stayed calm amid the chaos of a backhand settle, and this allowed him to stretch his turn to 314 for the Crowns. Mams also had a poor game for the Meteors, taking a pathetic 33. Marsell extended the lead with another 507 for Royal in a good performance. Zach got beat on a low-rolling ball, swinging and missing to end his contribution at 192 for Viewpoint Sound. Nightfur had just 81 to end the Crowns' game at 1133, likely in line for a win. Kelly couldn't catch up, with her 227 producing a final of 532 for the Meteors, who took a bad loss. Royal salvages the season split, improving to 10-20, while Viewpoint Sound continues to drop to 10-16.


Home Depot Forum, Web City: Two straggling teams look to keep each other down in this battle. Bear poked 192 for Whitewater in a mediocre opener to the game. Shadow swatted 642 for Web City, giving the hosts a significant lead. Twinkie III simply didn't have it, posting a weak 96 for the Shores. Rainmane gouged out another 513 for the Spiders, making their lead massive at the halfway point of the game. Cheddar fired back with 587 for Whitewater, upping the interest in the game a bit. Sugar slipped with 136 for Web City, conceivably making them a bit vulnerable. Wild Thing swung for 455 for the Shores, placing them at 1330 total, and forcing a minor response from the hosts. Shiny obliged, hitting 112 to seal a Spiders victory at 1403. Web City goes to 13-16 with the win, while Whitewater flounders at 11-23.


BMW RockDome, Westside: Two Center Division rivals meet for the first time this season, and each needs a win to get their season moving upward. Chris stumbled with 120 for Capital City, marking a poor start for him. Misty hit 292 for Westside, giving the hosts the first lead, modest as it may be. Missy couldn't find her rhythm very much, taking only 112 for the Sharpshooters as they remain trailing. Goatee's 160 for the Rockers kept them in the lead, but neither team looks all that inclined to offense yet. Sprinkles picked up 144 for Capital City, but it didn't help all that much. Midnight's 104 allowed Westside's lead to slip a bit, setting up a close ending in the low-scoring game. Dani gave the Sharpshooters a chance, knocking 424 to give them an even 800 as their final, which forces a response from the hosts. Chicky Phil did enough with 263 to give the Rockers a win at 819. Westside gets the win, going to 9-16, while Capital City falls again to 12-16.


Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Rockers are on a doubleheader in this division game, while the Shores play their second in the last three league games. Misty started well with 373 for Westside. Bear replied with an even better 662, giving Whitewater the initial lead in the last game of the week. Goatee ripped 807, giving the Rockers the advantage. Twinkie III regained the lead for the Shores, posting 632 in another strong effort. Midnight let Westside lose control, scoring a meager 64 on her abruptly-ended turn. Cheddar failed to secure the lead at all for Whitewater, managing just 45. Chicky Phil had 231 for the Rockers, giving them 1475 and forcing the hosts to respond. Wild Thing had 328 for the Shores, giving them victory with 1667 overall. Whitewater finally gets a game back to go to 12-23, while Westside is now 9-17.

Surprise! Week 15 is in the books. Standings update to follow shortly.
