Apple Park, Todavía: This is the first meeting of the season for these West Division rivals. On one hand, the Stills need a win to help their playoff hopes.

Infinity's Smudge made a good opener with 742, setting a high standard. Easter had just 12 for Todavía in a horrendous start. Shelley tried to calm a ball and set it up for a second contact hit, but it spun toward the wicket and she scored 375 for the Torpedoes as her turn ended. Sierra took 253, but the Stills are in serious trouble in this game. Gabe bungled his turn badly, scoring only 99 for Infinity, but they still hold a strong lead.

The Hummingbirds and Knights are the fourth and fifth teams to clinch a playoff spot. The Volcanoes also clinched.
