Juno had a crisp 594 for Modernistic in her opening attack, setting them up nicely. Crystal had an awkward swing for Queens, and she scored a meager 36 with the error. Ms. Puppy nailed 707 for the Union in a great turn, but it had a weird ending with an inexplicable lift of her bat to let a ball take out the wicket. Kayla collected 567 in response for the Flames, trying to mitigate the damage. Chimpy produced just 96 for Modernistic, allowing their lead to lose a bit of traction. Max didn't gain much ground with his 224 for Queens, and they'll face quite the challenge with a player each to go. Puff I tacked on 361 to put the Union at 1758 total. Paige popped 550 for the Flames, but they lost with 1377 as she just couldn't maintain her pace. Modernistic gets the sweep, going to 18-29, while Queens is 15-31 on the year.
Kraft Crowns Park, Royal: The Sharpshooters recently beat the Crowns, and they'd like to do it again in this Center Division rivalry.

Missy couldn't capitalize with only 45 for the Sharpshooters, and they are squandering another game. Jake pulled away a bit with 360 for the Crowns, giving them a better lead. Sprinkles belted 762 for Capital City, overcoming the deficit with a big performance. Marsell had only 128 for Royal, allowing them to fall behind by a noticeable margin. Dani supplied 298 for the Sharpshooters, giving them 1138 total. Nightfur hit 321 for the Crowns, and they took the loss with 961. Capital City got away with one, winning here to embed themselves more in the playoff hunt at 23-25 on a four-game winning streak, while Royal is 15-29 with the loss.
