We're back as we try to quickly end Week 24 and get a jump on Week 25 during tonight. No promises on either count, but it would be in the best interest of the league. We begin the final segment, and the march to three-quarters completion for the season, with...
Microsoft Pitch at Del Sur: The Torpedoes get another appearance in the Bubble Watch, playing another lowly side. Smudge did well with 509 to establish Infinity early in this game. Panda answered with 304 for Southern, and they are in the familiar trailing position. Shelley blasted an extra 1363 for the Torpedoes, giving them a huge lead. Shannon fired back with 432 for the Monarchs, but they're still far behind at the halfway mark. Gabe went with 304 for Infinity, keeping it simple to maintain the lead. Kirstin failed to give chase, scoring a weak 72 for Southern as they succumb to another probable loss. Whiskers poked 211, giving the Torpedoes a final of 2387 in a strong team effort. Nicole had a mediocre 224 to bring the Monarchs to 1032 in the loss. Infinity gets a division win and strengthened their grip on sixteenth at 24-23, while Southern is 13-39.
GE Stadium, Southridge: It's the first meeting of the year between these two under-performing sides. Sally fired 558 to give Archtown a very good start to the game. Boots replied with 368 for Southridge, keeping things relatively close early on. Sleepy B. replied with a crisp 570 to keep the Arrows in control of the game. Debby had 298 for the Defenders, but they're losing ground as the game is half-completed. Ruby collected 433 as Archtown puts together a good game on the road here. J. Garcia faltered with 150 as Southridge resigns themselves to likely defeat. Dusky had an awkward 217 to put the Arrows at 1778 for their final, but it should be enough anyway. Shaggy had a paltry 117 to give the Defenders only 933 in the loss. Archtown goes to 18-24, while Southridge is 18-29.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: Massive game here as the West leader hosts the Center leader for the first time this season. Tigerette's western rampage continued as she pummeled 814 for Commerce to begin this game. Snowball had a rocky start and didn't correct much as she hit 231 for Swordpoint. Ice Cream got a bit too much under the ball as well, cancelling out the damage with 248 for the Tradewinds. Dreamy scooped only 149 as the Blades can't get their offense going against the good bowling of the visitors. Lionel lost it with a hanger-on for his backhand, causing the stumps to go unprotected to the next offering, which ended his offense at 241 for Commerce. Shawn pulled back with 368 for Swordpoint, but they're in a lot of trouble still. Lorde faltered with a meager 69 for the Tradewinds, putting them at a final of 1372. Stealth had just 84 for the Blades, icing their losing total at 832. Commerce successfully fended off the attack on their second place standing to move up to 35-14, while Swordpoint missed a big opportunity and fell to 31-16 in a virtual tie for third with the Swifts.
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Knights seek a sweep here, as well as the hopes of retaining their hottest team in the league title against a high-powered offense. Acorn suffered a bad deflection early in his turn, and scored just 81 for Lighton. Kiwi lined 594 for Terrace City, staking out a nice lead. Spirit also had an abrupt end due to a deflection, and she produced a measly 80 for the Prestige. Jennifer tallied another 321 for the Knights, boosting their lead a little. Twinkie I cut into the deficit with her 449 for Lighton, but they'll need a bit more than that. Oreo slipped with 67 for Terrace City, leaving the door a bit open for the visitors to rally back. Lydia couldn't do it with a pathetic 48 for the Prestige, sealing their loss with 658. Stripes nearly succeeded with the batting acrobatics, but she lifted a ball and ended with 471, giving the Knights a final of 1453. Terrace City has been streaky but they're also pretty good, winners of ten straight and owners of a 30-20 record, while Lighton falls to 27-20 with the setback.
Apple Park, Todavía: The Stills look to complete a sweep after their week 2 win over the Rockers in Westside, and this is a Bubble Watch game. Westside's Misty started the spoiler effort with 427 on a good showing. Easter struggled with only 48 for Todavía, putting them quite a bit behind early on. Goatee knocked another 383 for the Rockers, and they are playing well in this game. Sierra got some back with 463 for the Stills, but they still trail halfway through the game. Midnight let things slip a bit with her 283 for Westside, making it interesting now. Leonardo unleashed 784 for Todavía, giving them a noticeable lead with a player each to go. Chicky Phil had only 176 for the Rockers, giving them 1271 as he failed to cover the deficit and they took a loss. Sparkles hit 465 to ice the gritty comeback win for the Stills at 1760. Todavía showed character to get to 26-28 on the year, while Westside collapsed to 18-29.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: Two big-name West Division teams meet up here. The Surfers won the first time, but they are heading into a tough road stadium. Watermelon had a bit of a soft effort with 295 for Pearl, which may prove costly later. Princess nearly got overwhelmed early on, but settled into a groove to pound out 680 for Tysini. Neopolitan covered the deficit with 558 for the Surfers, keeping the game competitive. Leandra carved up 615 more to keep the Hummingbirds ahead at the halfway mark. Wings lost it with 48 for Pearl, allowing them to get into real danger. Charli poked 280 for Tysini to maintain the lead again, and they look set up for victory here. Cowzart tried to rally back with 334 for the Surfers, but they came up short at 1235. Bright spiked 481 for the Hummingbirds, defeating his brother's (Wings') team with 2056 total. Tysini gets a big division win to go to 30-18 in a tie for sixth with the Warriors, while dumping Pearl down to 27-18 in a tie for ninth with the white-hot Knights.
Sprint Pitch, Victoria: The Tradewinds' third stop on their road trip sees them eyeing another sweep. Tigerette struck 327 for Commerce to begin this match. Spice answered with 407 for Victoria to give them a slight lead. Ice Cream produced 336 for the Tradewinds, giving them a smaller lead this time. It worked out, as the Spurs got only 21 from B. Chapman, and they now trail halfway through the game. Lionel slammed 807 in response for Commerce, extending their lead to a significant margin. Yekaterina had only 136 for Victoria, and they seem less likely to win as the final players step up to bat. Lorde's 306 put the Tradewinds at their final of 1776, which should be enough for them to cement second place a bit more. Kavan slipped up, taking out his stump when he had 610 for the Spurs, and they lost with 1174. Commerce improves again to 36-14 as winners of five straight road games, while Victoria falls to 18-31.
Volkswagen Stadium, Viewpoint Sound: These two teams meet for the first time this year, with the Pilots wanting sixth place all to themselves. Valencia had a very cluttered start for Golden, picking up a paltry 102 on her turn. Mr. Snowman flicked 213 for Viewpoint Sound as things start a bit low on scoring. Dusty didn't do well either, producing only 141 for the Pilots. Mams tallied 247 to keep the Meteors in charge in this uneventful match. Strut covered the deficit with his 352 for Golden, making it more interesting later in the game. Zach answered with a massive 560 for Viewpoint Sound, boosting their lead even more with a player each to go. A. Charlton couldn't handle a busy pitch, taking just 139 as the Pilots took the loss with 734 as their final. Kelly had a terrible finish with only 4 points for the Meteors, but they won with 1024 in a low-scoring game. Viewpoint Sound gets the upset to go to 18-27, while Golden is 31-19 in a tie for seventh with the Volcanoes.
Home Depot Forum, Web City: The Spiders seek a sweep here in a Bubble Watch game, as they desperately need to get back in the fight. Spice absolutely crushed 1624 for Victoria to open the game, shattering any remaining confidence in the hosts. Shadow quickly fell with only 51 for Web City after trying to match Spice's pace and failing miserably. B. Chapman had a reasonable 266 for the Spurs to manage their lead. Rainmane got jammed with 21 for the Spiders, and they have no hope for this game. Yekaterina tapped 272 as Victoria is set to cruise to the conclusion of the game. Sugar picked up 247 for Web City, but they are still way out of it. Kavan hit 304 to put the Spurs at 2484 in what should be a thorough win. Shiny made a good personal showing with 503 for the Spiders, but they still lost with 822 total. Victoria is up to 19-31 with the surprise win, while Web City falls to the bubble's fringe at 23-26.
BMW RockDome, Westside: The Surfers would like a repeat of their home opener, in which they beat the Rockers handily. Watermelon picked up a reasonable 308 to give Pearl a solid start. Misty hammered 1113 in response for Westside, giving them a big lead at the start. Neopolitan had a strong 401 for the Surfers, but they are still significantly behind. Goatee still extended the Rockers lead, carving out 586 to bring the game to its halfway point. Wings couldn't handle a deflection, ending on 387 as Pearl falls farther behind. Midnight muscled up with 893 for Westside, boosting their lead one more time late in the game as their home offense remains in peak form. Cowzart managed only 202, and the Surfers lost with 1298 in an upsetting season split. Chicky Phil tacked on 240 to bring the Rockers to 2832 in their fourth straight home win. Westside is up to 19-29, while Pearl slide again to 27-19.
Samsung Whitewater Stadium, Whitewater: The week ends with the first meeting between these Center Division rivals, and this week's final Bubble Watch. Chris hit a solid 376 to give Capital City a good foundation. Bear answered with 976 for Whitewater, giving them a large initial lead. Missy bailed out at 258 for the Sharpshooters, and they will continue to trail. Twinkie III picked up 384 for the Shores, adding a little more to the lead at the halfway mark. Sprinkles had only 240 for Capital City as their offense is slipping. Cheddar couldn't quite pluck a ball off her wicket, but she had 336 to extend Whitewater's lead again. Dani rallied with 592 for the Sharpshooters, but they ended short at 1466 total. Wild Thing brought about a quick end with 195 individually for 1891 total for the Shores. Whitewater improves to 20-32 in a lost season, while Capital City falls to 25-28 as the bubble gets stretched a bit this week.
The season is now three-quarters complete. This is the fourth quarter going forward, with hopefully three weeks played in the next two weeks of time. Only the Eagles have clinched, and all teams are still technically alive. Standings will be updated shortly.
