UPCL Cricket: Week 21 Part 3

Here's the final for Week 21. We begin with...


Microsoft Pitch at Del Sur: The Monarchs will need to defy their history if they want a season sweep of the Shores here. Bear had a dreadful start with only 128 for Whitewater, disappointing early on. Panda grabbed 623 for Southern, putting them far ahead. Twinkie III made it worse with only 231 for the Shores. Shannon hit 341 for the Monarchs, adding to their lead a bit. Whitewater appears doomed now, as Cheddar had only 176, failing to make much of an impact. Kirstin had only 145 for Southern, allowing them to lose a bit of steam later in the game. Wild Thing had 304 for the Shores, but it wouldn't be enough, and they suffered a loss with 839. Nicole finished in Monarchs form with 21, giving them a win with 1130. Southern gets a season sweep, a rare win, and snaps their sixteen-game home losing streak, with their record now at 12-35, while Whitewater is 18-28 on the year with the disappointing loss.


GE Stadium, Southridge: Southeastern teams renew their rivalries, with the Defenders trying to complete a sweep they started on the road in Week 3. Crystal had a meager 131 for Queens to lead things off. Boots took advantage of the optional replay she received from a technical error, giving Southridge 600 at the start. Kayla swung a bit too soon as she ended with 264 for the Flames. Debby answered with 481 for the Defenders, extending their lead nicely. Max had only 194 for Queens, failing to cover the deficit. J. Garcia nearly doubled the Southridge offense, slugging 1062 in a surprisingly good performance. Paige brought the Flames to a more respectable level with her 736, giving them 1325 in the loss. Shaggy pulled in 509 for the Defenders, giving them 2652 in the win. Southridge is up to 17-25 with their third straight win, while Queens drops to 13-27 on the loss.


Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: It's the Union who have a chance to sweep the third-place team in the league here. Juno got off to a poor start with only 160 for Modernistic. Snowball answered with 359 for Swordpoint to give them a noticeable lead. Ms. Puppy fired back with 529 for the Union, using some momentum from a backhand flick to propel her effort. Dreamy wasn't as smooth with the bat when in trouble, but she smashed 791 to extend the Blades lead. Chimpy couldn't cover the deficit, producing 322 for a troubled Modernistic side. Shawn cancelled it out with 336 for Swordpoint, keeping them in control late in the game. Puff I hit 387 for the Union, but they came up short at 1398 in their loss. Stealth collected 344 for the Blades, giving them a win with 1830. Swordpoint is up to 29-13, while Modernistic falls to 16-24.


Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: A great non-division game here, as the Warriors can sweep with a win against a solid opponent. Twilight had 397 for Central in a decent start for the defending league champions. Kiwi answered with 418 for Terrace City, pulling them slightly ahead early on. Dustin botched it with 49 for the Warriors, putting them in a highly vulnerable position. Jennifer didn't have the best of turns, but her 281 gives the Knights a noticeable lead. Noelle stumbled with 153 as the game gets out of hand for Central. Oreo didn't make it elegant, but she belted 1140 for Terrace City, virtually locking up the win. Gizmo had 439 for the Warriors, but they had the loss with 1038 total. Stripes tacked on 250 for the Knights, giving them 2089 for an easy win. Terrace City is hot again, riding a five-game winning streak to 25-20, while Central slips up and is now 26-18.


Apple Park, Todavía: These teams meet again next week for the return match in Pronger. Strawberry had a terrible start with a measly 25 for Pronger. Easter didn't inspire much confidence, hitting 200 to give Todavía a mild lead. Hoot picked up 295 for the Tridents, keeping them in the thick of the battle. Sierra poked 272 to keep the Stills in the lead, but it's still a relatively close game at the halfway point. Precious chopped 335 for Pronger, pulling them ahead again on at least a temporary basis. Leonardo countered with 451, keeping Todavía moving in the right direction as this pivotal game approaches its end. Paps managed to force a response, striking 487 to put the Tridents at a final of 1142. Sparkles did enough with 247 to give the Stills a win with 1170 in a tight game. Todavía should be worried even after winning to get to 23-25 and keep their playoff dreams alive, while Pronger is down to 14-27, on a five-game losing streak.


Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds crushed the Crowns early in the year, and the Crowns are still cold, but it could be a trap. Frosty didn't do all that well with 195 to start things off for Royal. Princess smashed 656 for Tysini, giving them a nice initial lead. Jake did just enough with 465 to cover the deficit for the Crowns, but that likely won't last long. Leandra scored 287 for the Hummingbirds, and their lead weakens at the halfway mark. Marsell stalled at 235 for Royal, and they trail once again. Charli bungled her turn with only 152 for Tysini, letting the visitors get closer again. Nightfur hauled in 341 for the Crowns, putting them at 1236 and forcing a response from their hosts. Bright tried to make it a quick rally back, but he cut one too sharply, losing at 81 to put the Hummingbirds in a loss with 1176. It was indeed a trap, as Royal's spoils take them to 14-26, while Tysini is bumped to 27-18 with the loss.


Sprint Pitch, Victoria: The West Division gains the spotlight again, with the Spurs looking for an upset sweep over the Volcanoes. Starlight opened with 600 as she gets Pacific going pretty well. Spice made a big mistake, swinging poorly to take only 36 for Victoria. Ms. Kitty scooped up 451 for Volcanoes, extending their lead nicely. B. Chapman couldn't corral a wild set of offerings, ending with 81 as the Spurs are getting blown out halfway through the game. Jack carved out 570 more for Pacific as they surge toward victory. Yekaterina tried an optional replay, but it went worse than her first turn, producing a measly 98 for Victoria. Leonette tallied another 780 to put the Volcanoes at 2401 in the thorough and comprehensive beating. Kavan had 328 for the Spurs, but they were easily defeated in finishing with 543. Pacific has entered a tie for fourth with a 29-16 record, tying the Boston Swifts, while Victoria is down to 15-26 on a fourth straight loss.


Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: The West is still in the spotlight with this meeting between a hot home team and a shaky road side. Acorn had only 169 for Lighton, falling out of form once again. Mr. Snowman did pretty well with 490 to give Viewpoint Sound a decent lead early on. Spirit covered the deficit with 424 for the Prestige, keeping the game interesting. Mams ended with 184 as a high-bouncing ball deflected another offering out of bounds, shrinking the Meteors lead halfway through the game. Twinkie I slapped 392 for Lighton, giving them a piece of the lead. Zach couldn't get it all back with his 281 for Viewpoint Sound, but they are within striking distance with a player each to go. Lydia wrangled 449 for the Prestige, forcing a response from her former team as her current team ends with 1434. Kelly came up short, as her 250 put the Meteors in a loss with 1205. Lighton gets a big division win 25-17, while Viewpoint Sound is down to 16-23 as their five-game winning streak at home gets snapped.


Home Depot Forum, Web City: The spotlight gets even brighter Northeastern rivals battle with lots on the line. The Spiders can sweep the Eagles with a win, as the only team to beat them in their own house so far this season. A loss would send the Spiders that much closer to the red line. Goldy pounded 721 for Everton to open the game. Shadow fought hard in a comeback effort, grabbing 589 to keep Web City in range. Puff III faltered with 145 for the Eagles, leaving them vulnerable. Rainmane pulled in 279 for the Spiders, giving them a two-point lead at the halfway mark. Cleo didn't help Everton make an escape, with her 248 keeping them vulnerable. Sugar flicked 312 for Web City, giving them an ever-so-slightly larger lead with a player each to go. Blizzard unleashed 848 to give the Eagles 1962 as their final, a high bar to hurdle for the hosts. Shiny couldn't do anything about a bad deflection, ending on 194 for the Spiders, who will lose with 1374. Everton salvages a series split with the only team to beat them at home, improving to 37-10, while Web City is 21-21, with a 4-7 division record the only thing really holding them back.


BMW RockDome, Westside: As promised in the last post, the return match, with the Flames lined up for a sweep. Crystal had a bad start with only 112 for Queens. Misty batted 297 for Westside, only getting tangled up with three balls near her bat at the end. Kayla didn't really help the Flames much, taking a measly 78. Goatee crushed 824 for the Rockers, likely cementing their lead halfway through the game. Max ripped 520 for Queens in a comeback effort, but they remain behind by a large margin. Midnight let the lead slip a bit, taking only 129 for Westside as the game tightens up a bit. Paige came up just short of forcing a response, rallying for 536 and still giving the Flames a loss with 1246. Chicky Phil pummeled 806 more to put the Rockers at 2056 in their win. Westside makes it a season split in the doubleheader, and they are now at 14-25, while Queens is down to 13-28 as the week has gone a bit poorly for them.


Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The Specters have a chance to sweep the Shores in this week's finale. Slinks didn't get off on the right foot, hitting a pathetic 33 for Harrison to begin. Bear answered with 329 to give Whitewater a noticeable lead at the start. Twinkie II answered with 345 for the Specters, covering the deficit. Twinkie III replied with 256 for the Shores, keeping them in the lead at the halfway mark. Sydney had a poor 49 for Harrison, and they are falling behind again as inconsistency continues to plague them. Cheddar failed to solidify things with only 60 for Whitewater. Brownie plucked 486 for the Specters, putting them at 913 overall, which will force a response from the hosts. Wild Thing couldn't do it, hitting only 96 as the Shores will fall with 741. Harrison's win takes them to 17-26, while Whitewater is 18-29 after the loss.

That's all for a marathon day of games, the last 25 of the week all being played today. We'll try to spread these out better going forward, but it can be tough. Standings update to follow this post.
