Nike Field, Commerce: The #2 Tradewinds meet the #15 Pirates, and these teams split their season series. Delila, the league's MVP, had a few jitters to start the game, hitting a sad 8 points for Atlantic. Tigerette fired back with a massive 589 for Commerce, giving them a pretty significant lead early on. Amber was whistled for a 50% penalty on her turn for a false start, and struggled anyway, earning just 10 for the Pirates. Ice Cream piled on another 584 for the Tradewinds, extending their lead very nicely. Americus gave Atlantic a decent effort with 318, but they are still far behind at this point. Lionel drilled another 392 for Commerce, keeping their lead very strong. Dominic's 204 gave the Pirates a losing total of 540 in an embarrassing return to the playoffs. Lorde did okay with 232 for the Tradewinds, and they won with 1797. Commerce leads the series 1-0.
Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The #6 Hummingbirds and defending champion #11 Warriors split their season series and renew pleasantries here. Twilight batted 415 to get things start solidly for Central. Princess didn't quite keep the same form, gathering 363 for Tysini as they trail slightly early on. Dustin scooped up 281 for the Warriors, giving them a smaller lead the second time around. Leandra slammed 902 for the Hummingbirds in response, giving them a lead halfway through the game. Noelle accepted 253 for Central so that she wouldn't face a penalty, leaving them still noticeable behind. Charli faltered with 54 for Tysini, destabilizing their lead ahead of the final players' appearances. Gizmo took a false start penalty and couldn't do anything with the 50% loss, hitting just 10 as the Warriors finish behind with 959. Bright tacked on 408 for the Hummingbirds, giving them 1727 in a confident win. The Hummingbirds own a 1-0 series lead now.
Amazon Field, Golden: The #8 Pilots host the #9 Volcanoes in this special Generations Derby series, with the teams splitting results in the regular season. Starlight had a modest 291 to lead things off for Pacific. Valencia answered with 496 for Golden, giving them a solid initial lead. Ms. Kitty covered that damage with 497 for the Volcanoes, keeping the game competitive. Dusty couldn't keep pace, falling behind with 128 for the Pilots. Jack couldn't gain separation for Pacific, hitting a mild 120 on his turn to leave the visitors vulnerable. Strut wasted the chance with only 81 for Golden, and they fall farther behind. Leonette hauled in 456 for the Volcanoes, icing their total at 1364. A. Charlton proved solid with 304 for the Pilots, but this resulted in them losing with 1009. Pacific has the 1-0 series lead, the first road team to make such an impact.
Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The #5 Knights face off with the #12 Cascades, and the Knights pulled off the season sweep in the regular season. Jasmine didn't do great with only 196 for Freedom at the start. Kiwi produced 287 for Terrace City, giving them a marginal lead but without much confidence. Stinky fired back with 456 for the Cascades, creating a much stronger second effort. Jennifer shot back with 634, pulling the Knights into the lead again at the midway mark. Roxy carved out 371 to put Freedom back in the fight, but with a minor lead. Oreo covered the deficit with 202 for Terrace City, but their lead is narrow with a player each to go. Nikolai made a huge attack with 555 for the Cascades, giving them a total of 1578. Stripes failed to catch up with 139 for the Knights, putting them at 1262 in the loss. Freedom, somewhat surprisingly, owns a 1-0 series lead.
Nissan Hall, Infinity: The #7 Torpedoes bring in the #10 Prestige for the first game of this Southwestern Derby series, which the teams split in the regular season. Acorn scored 368 in the lead off position for Lighton, a solid performance from the captain. Smudge ripped 704 for Infinity in response, giving them the early lead. Spirit fired back with 495 against her sister as the Prestige stay competitive. Shelley kept the Torpedoes in the lead, but her 317 shrunk the margin of that lead halfway through the game. Twinkie I kept the pressure high with 439 for Lighton. Gabe narrowly missed covering the deficit with his 234 for Infinity as they've now fallen behind. Lydia went with 357 for the Prestige, bringing their final score to 1659. Whiskers had a meager 99 as the Torpedoes lost with 1354 overall. Lighton's experience has seen them through to a 1-0 series lead against a very hot rival.
Chevrolet Field, Everton: The #1 Eagles have the #16 Rockers in town, with the Eagles having swept the season series. Westside's Misty had only 60 after a false start gave her a 50% penalty, not a good start against a tough opponent. Goldy punished the mistake on offense, swatting 606 for Everton to take a big lead. Goatee tried to go big, but fell at 215 as the Rockers barely dented the deficit. Puff III pretty much kept things even with 207 for the Eagles. Midnight got shut down at 7 for Westside, squandering any hopes of a comeback. Cleo hauled in 353 for Everton on her turn, padding their lead well late in the game. Chicky Phil had 272 for the Rockers, giving them a losing final of 554. Blizzard kept the finish simple with 208, putting the Eagles at 1374 in an easy win.
Blades Fusion ProGlide Park, Swordpoint: These West Division rivals get a whole series, which might be good for the #4 Blades, who swept the #13 Surfers in the regular season. Watermelon pummeled 742 for Pearl to open the scoring in fine form. Snowball didn't do well with 144 for Swordpoint, putting them far behind. Neopolitan had a meager 28 in response, the result of a failed backhand that has the Surfers destabilized. Dreamy made a cut into the deficit with 272 for the Blades, but they're still noticeably behind. Wings restored safety for Pearl, smashing 625 in a bold performance. Shawn couldn't provide an answer with 153 for Swordpoint, and they'll probably take the loss in this game. Cowzart tapped 211 for the Surfers, putting them at 1606 in what they expect to be a win. Stealth made a rally with 687 for the Blades, putting them at 1256 in the loss. The Surfers take a 1-0 series lead.
Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The first games wrap up with the #3 Swifts hosting the #14 Waves, and these teams split their season series. Snuggle started off well with 433 for Oceanside in a strong and confident first turn. Patches slugged 2180 for Boston in response, setting the tone not only for the game, but possibly the series. Bells replied with 183 for the Waves, as they are reserved to taking a loss here. Puff II remained reliable with 384 for the Swifts, keeping their lead very strong. Alyssa did reasonably well with 289 for Oceanside in a lost game. Gradley hauled in another 407 for Boston as they play a masterful game 1. Pounce scored 376 for the Waves, giving them a losing final of 1281. Sweetheart did fine with 281 to give the Swifts 3252 in the massive win. Boston leads the series 1-0 after the big win.
Game 2s should follow tomorrow if we can stay on schedule, along with the usual standard pool action.
