UPCL Cricket: Playoffs First Round - Day 2

Here's the game 2s for the league's playoffs. We begin from...


Nike Field, Commerce: The Tradewinds head into this game with a 1-0 series lead. Delila did much better this time, putting up 328 for Atlantic at the start. Tigerette fired back with 408 for Commerce, giving them the initial lead by a small margin. Amber fired back with 513 for the Pirates, keeping this game competitive. Ice Cream had only 240 for the Tradewinds, failing to cover the deficit at the halfway mark of the game. Americus flicked 341 for Atlantic on her turn, extending their lead a little bit. Lionel had a meager 73 for Commerce, as they have not played well from behind in this game. Dominic's 304 did well to give the Pirates 1486 overall, a total that just might win. Lorde's 144 gave the Tradewinds a sad final of 865, taking the loss. The series is tied at 1.


Chevrolet Field, Everton: On the other side of the bracket, the Eagles look to build upon their 1-0 series lead. Misty didn't have an easy time for Westside, getting overwhelmed from the offerings, and scoring only 56. Goldy did well with 506 for Everton, establishing a nice lead for the hosts. Goatee got some back with 199 for the Rockers, but they are still far behind. Puff III didn't dazzle, hitting a modest 273 for the Eagles as they lead halfway through the game. Midnight churned out 551 for Westside, narrowly covering the deficit to make things interesting. Cleo posted 425 for Everton, keeping them ahead as the final players come to bat. Chicky Phil managed 252 for the Rockers, but they took the loss on 1058. Blizzard took 376 for the Eagles, putting their final at 1580 in the win. Everton leads the series 2-0 as they head on the road westbound.


Cisco Tysini Field, Tysini: The Hummingbirds look to really push the defending champions. Central didn't get off to a great start, as Twilight scored 144 with good pace but no longevity, a fragile opener from the captain. Princess belted 1015 for Tysini in a huge performance, giving them a very strong early lead. Dustin made a noticeable dent in the lead with 379 for the Warriors, but they still face a steep climb. Leandra scooped up 420 for the Hummingbirds to cover that second wave of damage. Noelle kept Central hanging on with her 456, and a comeback isn't impossible at this point. Charli faltered a bit with 162 for Tysini, but their lead is still large late in the game. Gizmo made that rally with 714 for the Warriors, putting them at 1693 and forcing a response from the hosts. Bright obliged with 447 for the Hummingbirds, securing their win at 2044. The Hummingbirds will leave home with a 2-0 series lead.


Blades Fusion ProGlife Park, Swordpoint: The Surfers pulled off a game 1 upset, and they'd love to continue their good fortune here. Watermelon staggered at the start for Pearl, hitting just 217 on her opening turn. Snowball answered with 336 for Swordpoint, giving them the initial lead. Neopolitan got called for a 50% penalty due to a false start, and then floundered to 25 points as the Surfers are now in danger. Dreamy lined 607 for the Blades, extending their lead quite well. Wings couldn't make any progress with only 67 for Pearl, and they seem doomed to lose this game. Shawn may have left the door open a bit with his 138 for Swordpoint, shaking the lead a bit. Cowzart saw an unfortunate deflection end his turn at 84, giving the Surfers 393 in a brutal loss. Stealth tacked on 335 to give the Blades a win with 1416. Swordpoint tied the series at 1 as the action shifts to Honda Driftwood Coliseum for the next two games.


Audi Knights Pitch, Terrace City: The Cascades toppled the newer expansion franchise in the first game. Jasmine issued a stern warning with 688 for Freedom, establishing their offense very early in the game. Kiwi failed with 106 for Terrace City, making it a large deficit for the hosts to face. Stinky was betrayed by his backhand when things got cluttered, and he ended at 141 for the Cascades. Jennifer failed to capitalize with a meager 120 for the Knights. Roxy didn't break out for Freedom either, falling at 152 as they are far from safety. Oreo made a dent in the deficit with her 376 for Terrace City, but they have a lot of work left to do. Nikolai matched that with 376 for the Cascades, bringing them to a final of 1357, the established level to be reached by the hosts. Stripes failed to hit the mark, producing just 112 as the Knights lose with 714. Freedom surprisingly heads home ahead 2-0 in the series.


Amazon Field, Golden: The Volcanoes currently lead the series 1-0, but these promise to be close games. Starlight managed a meager 180 for Pacific at the start of the game. Valencia answered with 481 for Golden, giving them a noticeable lead early on. Ms. Kitty couldn't make the comeback, hitting only 63 for the Volcanoes as the deficit grows. Dusty did pretty well with 352 for the Pilots, extending their lead nicely at the halfway mark. Jack tried a quick rally for Pacific, but bowed out at 297, and they remain significantly behind. Strut struggled again, hitting a pathetic 12 for Golden as their lead once again goes unstable late in the game. Leonette stepped up with 487 for the Volcanoes, bringing their total to 1027 overall, which will force a response from the hosts. A. Charlton picked up 456 for the Pilots, meeting the challenge as they won with 1301. The series will head to the coast tied at 1.


Nissan Infinity Stadium, Infinity: The Prestige got the upper hand in game 1, but the Torpedoes are still a hot team. Acorn didn't do well to lead off game 2, hitting a poor 171 for Lighton, and they'll start off slow. Smudge didn't dazzle the fans either, giving Infinity a small lead with her 217 to begin. Spirit's 405 proved to be a much stronger second effort for the Prestige as they establish a standard lead. Shelley couldn't settle a bouncing ball on her backhand, ending with 176 for the Torpedoes, who are now trailing at the halfway mark. Twinkie I clobbered 791 for Lighton on her turn, boosting their quite a bit. Gabe plucked 337 for Infinity in a solid effort, but they're still far behind. Lydia suffered a 50% penalty for the Prestige, and hardly got going anyway, posting a sorry 6 points to give the visitors 1373 overall. Whiskers tried to rally, but got taken out with 368 for the Torpedoes, and they lost with 1098. Lighton leads the series 2-0, and they're heading home with the hopes of closing it out.


Coca-Cola Field, Boston: The game 2s end with the Swifts looking to build on their first win against the Waves. Snuggle led off with 368 for Oceanside, a reasonable start for the captain. Patches put Boston ahead with 535, not as good as her last performance but a strong one nonetheless. Bells did cover the deficit with her 196 for the Waves, but not by a large margin. Puff II added a bit to the Swifts lead, scoring 292 to cover the second wave of damage from the visitors. Alyssa failed to catch up, hitting only 63 for Oceanside in a poor showing. Gradley did enough with 200 for Boston to build their lead up to a nice level ahead of the final players' turns. Pounce was doing well until a ball came back at him, and he sent it too high, ending his turn at 256 and giving the Waves a losing total of 883. Sweetheart kept it simple with 28 to give the Swifts 1055 in the win. Boston is ahead 2-0 in the series as they leave for the coast.

Starting with the next batch of games, we'll have action from the lesser seeds' venues for games 3 and 4.
